"Thank me-?" Sorry that's a little odd, though he replies more in jest, chuckling under his breath as he stretches his arms out.

"Oh baby, you've thanked me enough, believe me." His tone playful, grinning mad before pulling back just enough to clasp his hand over Darkleer's on his chest. His fingers weave with his, grabbing tight, lifting his head to look at him. That grin fades a bit now though, not to a frown, but into something softer. "But yeah- thanks I guess, back from me. Though- tch," smirks again, cocking his head a bit. "Me thankin' ya is just as dumb."
