[ he knows, of course he knows, but it’s hard to internalize that kind of thing no matter how many times guren tells him. dextera learns only through doing, and it’s hard to just force himself to comprehend that guren isn’t too busy for him.
he scoots a little closer, in something that could be an apology. ]
[Hmm, that's even nicer, and he doesn't have it in him to find some reason to scoot away. Not when they're holding hands, and he already gave in to this. He stays relaxed, resting their joined hands on their legs that are so close they're nearly touching.
He'd close his eyes if he didn't need them to "hear" Dextera.]
Busy with stuff like this, huh? I wouldn't want to be interrupted, either.
[ dextera lives a leisurely life, here in town. he has no useful skills, so there’s not much contribution he can do to the daily life except to tend to his (and once, ryoji’s) offshoot garden. he’s still taking lessons from caramia, but the town is good at interrupting that more than he would like.
guren’s teasing does lighten his heart, at least. ]
So are the kids around here. [They've got their arms full! This weird family of chickens and people. He leans just slightly so that his weight rests against Dextera a little, as well.]
Guess that means we should appreciate the chances to take a nap.
[ it’s a good family, dextera thinks. he loves his birds, and all the other animals he’s met as well. he loves the people here, too—even the ones that have hurt him in some ways, he may not love, but their oddities are somehow nostalgic. he appreciates their presence. ]
I am.
[ with guren on his side, and a chocobo behind him, dextera finally feels like he can close his eyes without sending himself into a panic—so he does. ]

I’m busy, too.
