"To think you actually remembered..." Jade spoke in a low voice.
"Why wouldn't I remember?" Muku asked in a confused voice.
"Well, you don't treat me as delicately as you do the other girls. Sometimes I even wonder if you see me as a girl. If it weren't for the tents you pitch when you peek, I would have lost all confidence" Jade replied.
"What do you mean? You do know I only treat you like that as a reaction to your own actions, right? Besides that, I can assure you, I see you as a girl just as much as every other girl in the group" Muku replied as best as he could for the time being.
He chose to ignore the latter part she said about tents and whatnot. It wasn't the time to nitpick. He could see that Jade was genuinely feeling fragile at the moment. And if he went off on her like he normally does, it might hurt her.
Even if some of the stuff she said made him want to shout, he couldn't do it in that situation. He had to be the bigger person.
"Really?" Jade asked softly.
