She smiled as gently as ever when he spoke of such characteristics being ‘less becoming’. Was it that she said, or, that it had been said at all? Perhaps some people took his comments about himself with a grain of salt, thinking he was only making a joke or being a bit witty. There was something about him that made her wonder if he were lying; she did not know him that well, after all. Though, it was her nature to know others as well as she could. And she could not quite find it within herself to ever be put off by honesty, however unusual. Was he being honest? She did wonder about that when he mentioned an open book was his favorite kind. Jean struck her as the elusive sort, especially when it would—perhaps—benefit him in some way. She couldn’t deny that she could be described as elusive by others, even if she never felt as much or saw the reason to be called thus.
As she finished working her fingers and palms over one foot, her eyes on the task, she moved to the other. “Does it?” she asked when he told her it sounded troublesome to be so forthright. “What one offers in honesty need not be delivered with a purposeful viciousness to it. Though, some are prone to hurt because the information given no matter the delivery method. And that, I fear, is out of my control.” There were those who did not enjoy hearing the truth, after all. There were times when Ruka withheld altogether unless asked directly because she did not wish to be involved. And, there were also times she told someone she did not wish to discuss the matter—knowing they would not be happy with her open opinion.
She found herself pausing her movements and then meeting his gaze. “Perhaps then you are not wrong; it is troublesome... but... Awful things have a way of being made more awful by deception.”
And then she was massaging his foot again, smiling again as he elaborated on the possibilities of poetry. “I should rather you do what is you enjoy, but it seems as though find much about yourself to be a waste.”
