Marius growled softly when Tristian touched his nose, huffing a bit. I turned eighteen recently. You? Even though his voice was only telepathic, he still sounded irritated.

"Yeah I'm around the same age, i guess I'm just freakishly humanly tall." He chuckled a bit, booping him again. "Boop."
Stop doing that! Marius pulled his face away, confused and annoyed. What are you doing, anyway? What's the point of it? Are you just trying to piss me off?
"No I'm not~" he chuckled a little bit, "its called a boop, it's just something you do that's very playful." He didn't do it this time, just adjusting marius holding position.
Marius huffed again and closed his eyes, turning his face away in an attempt to get out of Tristian's reach. I'm not a very 'playful' person. And it's very annoying. I implore you to stop.
"You implore me? Oh such big words you use~" he let out another chuckle, not being able to help it. He didn't boop Marius again though, "The way you sent it so much just makes me want to do it more, but i guess i wont~"
Marius glared at Tristian and crossed his arms, clearly sulking. I use 'big words' because I'm educated. I have been a prince all my life, after all. I must uphold myself as such.
"oh boy mr hoity toity over here i grew up a prince my whole life too, i can speak diplomatically but i just prefer to do more casual speech."
He huffed at him, sticking his tongue out At him.
I never said you couldn't. I just hold myself to a higher standard. And 'hoity toity'? He scoffed a bit, turning his ears back. What does that even mean?
"Oh pish posh whatever." He grumbled, hearing marius's scoff ignoring looking at him and instead looking elsewhere. "it means prissy, overly regal and fancy doesn't like to get there hands dirty"
Marius rolled his eyes, keeping his arms crossed and avoiding eye contact. I've gotten my hands dirty before. I'm not all that you seem to think I am, you know. There's a reason I wear this mask all the time, and a reason I don't speak aloud.
"Oh yeah? Well if there's some special reason then why don't you say it already? It's not like your surronded by people, or the middle of a town square." He pouted a bit. "you? Your hands dirty? I'm not trying to assume or anything but that doesn't seem like something you would be keen to do. Wait, double checking, what's your definition of hands dirty?" He blinked for a second before looking at marius.
"you don't speak out loud?-"
It's not really any of your business. It was a lot of effort to hush it up, you know. Marius kept his eyes off of Tristian's, seeming a bit uneasy. And no, I don't. I… can't. Can't speak out loud.
He tilted his head at marius "did something happen to your vocal cords or something?' he slowed down to a jog as they moved through the forest.
No. There's nothing wrong with my vocal chords. Marius hid his face, looking to be pretty uncomfortable. They would work just fine.
"would? Then why don't you use them? Is there something keeping you from that?" He looked back at Marius noticing how uncomfortable he was getting. "nevermind, it's cooL. I respect your silence."
I can't. Marius repeated, tightening his grip on Tristian. He said nothing after that, hiding his face in Tristian's shoulder. I can't. Can't speak out loud.
"…what?.." he felt the tightened grip, holding him close to his chest, "That, that sounds…I'm sorry.." he wasn't forming very good sentences and he kinda felt like a jerk now.
Stop it. Don't try and pity me. I brought it upon myself. Marius sighed shakily, trying his best to keep still and stoic. I don't need your pity.
"I'm sorry- i wasn't trying to pity you, that's not why I'm apolosing, i just- felt like i was a bit of a jerk to you."
He frowned, looking very upset.
Stop apologizing. You're not supposed to know anything about the situation anyway. I'd be surprised if you knew. Marius growled softly and gripped Tristian tighter.
"Right, well then, we could find something different to talk about?" He felt how tight marius was gripping and figured they should move on to a different subject.
Marius nodded a bit, taking a few minutes to be willing to relax his grip at all. He was still noticeably tense, and didn't try to talk much at all. What… do you want to talk about…?
"You got any questions for me?" He offered giving them a chance to learn about him. He didn't mind answering any questions.
Questions? I'm not great at small talk, but… why are you so insistent on running away from your life as the prince? Marius kept his face hidden for now.
