[ Reynir is smiling as soon as Carlisle says that being friends is fine with him. He notices Carlisle is blushing a little bit, but he's also smiling and that is such a wonderful thing to see. He's not sure how often he might ever get to see that, so Reynir really takes it in and enjoys it.
However Reynir's delighted expression grows faintly puzzled when Carlisle says he's difficult to get along with. He says it's because himself, in a way that seems to imply some fundamental flaw about himself. Without hesitation, Reynir replies: ]
Really? I've found getting along with you completely easy. Including the journey here.
[ It's possible there is some ugly side to Carlisle that hasn't yet reared it's head, sure. But the choice of example he uses... as if his fear were something difficult to deal with. An imposition. But Reynir doesn't mind that Carlisle was afraid. He hadn't minded that Carlisle was afraid when they first met at the spa, either. He didn't even mind that Carlisle was a little snippy at the start of the dream, before he remembered Reynir. Honestly, Reynir has plenty of sunshine to go around; he doesn't mind befriending a few cloudier people who are in need of some brightening up. ]
And even if it ever isn't, friendship isn't about everything being 100% easy all of the time. So don't you worry about being you. You being you is cool with me!
