There was a pause before Kale burst out laughing, he actually spit crumbs of cupcake out as he leaned forward. He had never laughed this loud with Blaze before.

Blaze's eyes widened and she scooted back a little as she looked at Kale strangely.

Kale finally managed to stop laughing, looking up at Blaze with very amused eyes. "Friends with Wolfe?" he asked before chuckling again. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and smirked, "I don't think Wolfe really had any friends, besides James. I'm not sure how James did it... but he somehow got Wolfe to let him through that calm and prefect exterior." he chuckled again before explaining, "Wolfe doesn't make friends, he makes allies."

Blaze blinked. It wasn't clear if she understood or not, but she nodded a little after a moment.

Kale nodded a little, "You got him to see you as an ally. That's about as far as you're going to get." he told her before taking another bite out of his cupcake.

Blaze shook her head a little. "I don't think so," she replied. "I don't think he likes me."

Kale blinked at Blaze, "He tends to give off that vibe." he explained, "But if he talked to you at all, you're tolerable in his eyes."

Blaze wasn't sure how she felt about that, but she dropped the topic to talk about other things.

Kale continued to eat sugar, chatting a bit on whatever topic she brought up.

As they were finishing up their meal and after the current topic ended, Blaze suddenly casually asked, "Would you ever consider being in a relationship with someone who had, like, the Devil's Kiss or something and they didn't have long to live?"

Kale slowly stopped eating as he turned to stare at Blaze. He didn't say anything for a long minute, studying her. "If I cared for that person, yes of course." he finally replied in a serious tone, "Everyone dies eventually."

Blaze pretended not to notice Kale's stare, but she quickly tried to move onto another topic.

Kale followed her conversation switch but seemed to remain deep in though, his speech more automatic than before.

Blaze spoke about random things until they were both done and ready to part ways for the night.

Kale looked as though he wanted to say something deep as they parted ways but didn't. He stated walking away but stopped, turning back and looking over his shoulder with his typical sideways grin, "See you tomorrow then." he called out to her before continuing on his way.

Blaze turned back, but didn't say anything. Then she continued on her way.
