"Are you sure that's true?", Caelan asked sincerely, Ronan didn't seem like a man one would not take serious, after all that was more like Caelans role and he for one didn't dislike it. If people were brushing him off as stupid, that was fine with him, at least he didn't have to talk about serious topics then and most Lords and Ladies lost interest pretty fast. Only with Ronan it seemed to be different, he liked talking to him. "I know we joked about you in a dress, but you know that was a joke, right? You're neither looking like a girl, nor a child and you also don't look stupid, just a little rejecting I guess." He was small and tender, but that was about it and there was nothing wrong with looking like he did. He also wasn't the smallest person Caelan knew, after all the prince was small and tender as well and if anyone looked like a girl, it was him, though the thought alone could get Caelan in trouble, so he'd better not entertain it. "If you keep going flirting like that, I might start to believe you...", Caelan let out a slight joke with his calm smile, it felt like Ronan was flirting as much with Caelan as he did with him and it was more fun than with any girl Caelan flirted with. Maybe because it was just a joke between the two of them, what else could it have been? "You're stuttering though.", Caelan noticed right away, looking at Ronan who tore his eyes off of him an just looked somewhere else. "Thank you, for listening and not telling."
"I'll get you out of your cage, one way or the other.", he promised, even though he didn't know why he'd even do that. He wasn't sure if he'd done this for anyone, or if it was Ronans eyes which looked at him as if he was his only chance of freedom left, the eyes that almost seem to give up completely, which Caelan didn't want to happen. Caelan laughed again. "You being mad is cute too!", he replied, knowing all too well that it only would infuriate Ronan even more. "You don't seem like the shy guy, actually. After all you started talking when we met and you have no problem with it now either.", Caelan noticed, looking at Ronan, he probably wasn't a bad liar in particular, his eyes just gave away his true feelings which was why Caelan kept looking at them while he talked. "Do you have an example of things you are scared of?", he asked interested. Caelan of Fhaergus wasn't scared of many things, if any. He and Cameron did so many stupid, irresponsible and dangerous things already, just because they were bored, there was almost nothing still scaring Caelan. He felt pretty safe, even when traveling alone. "If you wanna strip naked here and now, don't hesitate!", he laughed again, sent a wink in Ronans direction and rested his head on his arm as if he was waiting for the show to begin.
