[ He's certainly not kidding Rezo, if the warm smile he gives Zelgadis is any indication. ]

She's fortunate to have someone kindhearted to look out for her.

[ Okay, so Rezo might be pushing his luck here. Poke-the-tsundere is a game that's hard to resist, alright?

In the back of Rezo's mind, some gears are turning- still mulling over Zelgadis's explosive reaction. In theory it's not uncharacteristic that he would bridle at the realization that others were talking about him behind his back (Zelgadis can be a tad insecure) or noticing that he's close to another person. (And thus undermining the cool loner persona that Zelgadis has.)

However he'd very specifically insisted that he and Amelia were friends. Meaning he'd thought Pokota had said they were close in a different way.

Rezo's... concerned, honestly, but that concern will be getting tucked away in a little box and placed on a shelf in his mind in a secluded corner. Saying anything about it would certainly be a poke too far. ]

Is she really that trouble prone? She hardly seemed worse than the rest of you.
