No, he wouldn't judge him, but you had to admit it was kind of funny. A grin tugged at Asbel's mouth, not the awkward tight smile from a moment ago, but one with genuine warmth. He shook his head - no apology necessary. Leave it to Richard to be proper even at a time like this.

"Good thing we bumped into one another when we did. Tern and I were just headed back. If you want, you should come with us, Richard. It may not be fancy, but I think we could probably throw something together to eat. And there's plenty of kupo nuts, too. You don't mind sharing with Richard's moogle, right?"

The last question seemed to be addressed to his own moogle, because the furball timidly readjusting himself into Asbel's hair gave a nod. "N-no, it's okay! I d-don't mind sharing with friends, kupo."

"Thanks." Satisfied, Asbel returned his attention to Richard, awaiting his answer.
