[Noah made a thoughtful noise while he considered that.]

I think she was born with it. Apparently, she's known like, all her life.

[And he felt like that sort of thing would give someone a complex, or something. He wasn't sure that was the proper word for it. He knew it was distressing and frustrating not knowing if anyone was safe to kiss--because she'd told him as much. And really, he couldn't blame her. He'd probably have made kissing off-limits too, if he'd been in her position.]

Noah almost offered to help--almost because, before he got a chance to even open his mouth, Nikolai was taking one of his gloves off. And Noah--his brow furrowed. He didn't so much stare as he did study the marks. He'd never seen anything like that before, but it was absolutely easy to realize why Nikolai wore gloves in the first place. Was he self-conscious or was he expecting other people to be cruel?

His voice was quiet when he spoke.]


What happened? I mean- you don't have to tell me, I know we've only known each other like- I dunno, not long. But I promise I'm not- I'm not a dick.

[And he would respect it if Nikolai told him to drop it.]
