“I’m scarred, I think.”
She grins and shakes her head, watching him look at the ceiling. “I never thought you could be like that.”
He looks at her now, rolling his head to face her, and she thinks his eyebrows are raised but can’t tell with how dirty his face is. “Like what?”
“Joking around. Acting like an idiot — well, wait…” He glares at her, and she laughs. “You know what I mean. Just act… like that.”
“Self-defense.”
“Sure.” She lets him have it, knowing it won’t do for him to seem like a normal person who acts like a fool once in a while. “I’m freezing.”
“You’re the one who decided to use the hose at the end of Fall.”
“Self-defense.”
He grins, turning his head away and looking back at the ceiling. “Sure.”
