Navvi's jaw dropped. "Really? 38? Wow, I feel quite young now." He grinned, showing that he was only joking. "I'll be 29 soon though, so I suppose you only have 9 years on me. Anyways, we're both adults, so an age difference is much less inconsequential."
He suddenly realized that it might have sounded as if he were talking about them having a relationship...which he wasn't, of course. Yes, Anthos was sweet, and kind, and quite handsome. He was fun to be around, and brought a smile to Navvi's face. He was seemingly perfect in every way...
Damn. Navvi was falling for him; something that never happened with him. Of course Navvi had been with guys before, he had even thought he was in love a few times. But for him to fall for someone so quickly? No, it couldn't be possible. What he was feeling was probably simply caring for Anthos, wanting to make him happy again and keep a smile on his face.
With a start, he realized that Anthos had answered his question. Taking the seat that Anthos had gestured to, Navvi smiled. "Hmm, they do sound rather odd. Of course, I suppose we appear odd to quite a few other species of creatures when they look at us."
For some reason, Anthos' compliment combined with his smile caused Navvi to blush. "Well, thank you. You look quite handsome as well." He returned Anthos' smile, trying to ignore the flush of color.
