ASTRID blinked. He wasn't able to react immediately. To ask him if he needed help without him even mentioning it first, it was such a Wulfric thing to do. A soft laugh unknowingly escaped his lips.
If before, he was hesitating whether to ask Wulfric for help, now, that hesitation was slightly wavering. How could it not when the other was offering it himself? As if it was the most natural thing to do.
"Actually, there is one. I'm just not sure if I should involve you in all this," he said honestly.
"It's fine. You can involve me all you want. I don't mind," Wulfric quickly said. There was not even a hint of hesitation in his voice.
A helpless smile appeared on Astrid's lips. "You being like this is the reason I can't. It would feel too much like I'm taking advantage of you."
