No, not irritation. Affection. He wants to grab him, guide him somewhere, andβ )
[ What would Kaladin pick? A nighttime spar out near the bay, then dinner near the water? Maybe exploring in Kyoto... hiking, something like that. A stroll around the city?
Somehow, all of them sound perfect. He knows exactly why. ]

Yes of course it is I just
No I've never been called that
Not romantically
Thank you
I think you're cute too
no subject
Is this where I ask if you're mocking me back?
no subject
But I'm not mocking you
( Before he loses his nerve, he quickly and quietly adds: )
I think that you're beautiful
