Heh. Tiny Goji. An amusing terminology for such a form.
[ The joke lands if nothing else. The big guy's teeth show in one of those lizardy grins of his, reaching his eyes and making them sparkle with life. He has to wonder, does she realize she brings that out in him more than anyone else? Just one of those many amazing things about her...
The meal passes in silence, by the time Lucy's plate is cleaned so is his. Without prompting he returns to his human form, the nanomachines of his style upgrade quickly cladding him in the same sleeping clothes as before, but never during the process does he let go of her hand. If anything once his transformation is complete he squeezes her hand just a little tighter.
Something's wrong, he can feel it. Just as Lucy has learned to read his reptilian features he's learned to read her body language. She may be smiling and joking yet there's something clearly on her mind... something like... fear? Close to it at least, there's not quite the smell such an emotion would bring out in a mammalian but... ]
Kaede-hime...
[ His voice is the first thing to break the silence besides the sound of his rearranging skeletal structure. The look of concern on his face more obvious than ever as he meets her eyes. ]
Something further troubles yourself, yes? A request, speak of it? I ill-like any continued secrecy between us.
