ah fuck, maybe it was too much to try and joke around about a friendship that obviously means so much to Abbacchio? There's no real way that Avdol could actually hope to measure up, and he knows that (knows that Reimi really is someone special, so it's alright to be behind her), but...
Discomfort's the last thing he wants, here. Especially right now, but ever between them. When he speaks again, his tone is cautious, apologetic, and completely at odds with how having a finger run over his tentacle makes him feel.] Ah...I understand, don't worry. Family, even found, and friends are different beasts altogether; trying to compare that would be impossible. Apples and oranges, as it were.
