"Mm...more aggressive. More...confident, maybe," Declan considered, squinting slightly and gesturing for Aoba to drink the tea.
"I would call it false bravado," Ghost suggested, earning a small, hesitant nod from the Titan. "Not entirely confidence, unless it's blind. Which still makes it false bravado all the same. And a bit forward, if you ask my opinion!"
"Uh...he was cocky, is all," Declan clarified, thinking Aoba wouldn't like hearing that he'd bordered on vulgar.
"But...it's part of you that's been shut off. Locked up. I don't know if that's healthy," the large man murmurs, fingers tapping softly on a mug the color of his skin.
"I think it's okay, having those parts. If it happens again, it doesn't change anything. You're always going to be welcome here, Aoba. You with more sides, or multiple yous. However it works. Like I said, it doesn't change anything. Just makes it a little different."
