[ Basch is not a skilled liar. He can keep a straight face, but that's about it.
He doesn't like to lie to those he cares about, though. Omit, perhaps, but not lie. ]
I'm...usually the most frightening thing out there [ He says softly, but he keeps his hand in Olivine's two, following him without hesitation. ] I get stronger, and I'm large.
[ He's...glad. Relieved. A little embarrassed. He wanted to protect the cave and the village, so it's good to hear they were quiet. He doesn't want to be a beast, but he isn't right now. And -- Olivine was thinking of him. So maybe this is still all okay.
Then he goes pink. ] That was extremely kind. Thank you. I can dress, and we can eat together?
[ Because he doesn't feel quite human yet, and that would help. ] Something that isn't meat would help my stomach adjust. [ He finally manages a small smile. ]
