Cayde pauses, lifting his head for a moment as if he’s about to look back. The suspicious ”Hmmmm….” as he keeps going is perfectly audible. So. Rookies telling tales about their elders, huh? He might have to find out what’s been said. Correct any underestimates misconceptions.

Blaze, on the other hand, looks taken aback, her optics flaring and blinking as she looks at Verity. “Oh, ‘cause I- wait, I say something funny about Cayde? I don’t- don’t remember that.” She rubs the side of her head, gaze dropping to a point on the floor. That really can't be good.

“Verity’s just having a little fun,” Ghost reassures her, floating down between them. “Don’t worry. I’m sure Cayde will only tease us for as long as it’s funny.”
