The juggler couldn't help himself and laughed at her question. He quickly glanced around, hoping and praying to Talos that his laugh didn't scare away any potential game. Just to be prepared, he loaded an arrow.
Satisfied, he then turned his attention back to Buttons. Oh did he now? was his reply, smiling and shoving her back, though not nearly as softly as she had shoved him. I wouldn't so much as call it a weak spot, he began. I see it more as a fondness. He eyed her, with the ever so slightest of smiles on his lips.
He shrugged, continuing, But to be up front with you, yes. Indeed, my defense was because of a woman. What I find most annoying is, which one? Instantly, his first thought was, IDIOT! If she caught that, she'll probably (but hopefully not) assume it had to be more than one. And if that happens, he pondered, while shifting his weight on the rock, SHE. WILL. ASK. At that moment, all Juggles wanted to do was slink into the pond, never to be seen again.
