Startime's frown deepened for a few second as he watched Vintage talk. It was almost terrifying having this giant lethal frown so deep at Vin.
But just as quick as it came, Startime's expression mellowed into one of understanding as he heard just how much Vintage meant his-

"nothing...to be sorry...about."
He says in a soft tone. He shuffled closer to Vintage before crouching low enough to bump his head against the gray berry's chest, not wanting the other to revert to the sobbing mess he had found in the kitchen.-
The expression Startime gave Vintage bordered indignant, more annoyance than anything. Did he not show enough that he cared? Clearly not since Vintage obviously didn't know how genuine it was.

"Don't....understand why not."
Startime admits, watching as Vintage leaned against the wall. At least he seemed somewhat comfortable? At least the lethal hoped.

Startime casts a brief glance down towards the monochrome berry before locking his gaze back in front of him.
"Might...be surprised."
He mused lowly, not that he takes any real offense. Startime makes sure others don't invade his little area, it was for him and him only. The-
