You did a minute ago when you said my taste in friends is bad when I called you a friend and then backtracked!
[Self-awareness with Rosso is... it exists. It exists in rare moments like this, and the whole of Bavan should be grateful to witness it. Alas, they are not, because the crowd that was previously steering clear of The Big Cat is now giving both of them the widest possible berth.
Anyway, to him, basically saying "get better taste" about oneself is certainly a vote of not being confident, and the only reason Rosso recognizes it as such is because he's the same damn way.
Elrians are also incredibly weird about friendship, so there's that. Three whole interactions is enough for Rosso to make friends with someone simply because his overprotective instinct will not let him do otherwise.]
Honestly... [he huffs and drags a hand through his hair, apparently unbothered by what is ostensibly a threat display. Rosso wants to say "I see right through you" and "I'm not all that confident either", but the words die on his tongue the moment he tries.] ...we don't have to be friends, but if you ever insult my taste in others again, I will go get a squirt bottle and spray you down with it.
