Tighnari's eyes twinkle a little at that knowledge. if it's nearby, then it shouldn't be an issue. there are no other plans for patrols today outside those sent out, and if they needed him they can always send word for him. so this really is ideal and works in their favor.
though, as soon as he hears that shortened handle of his name, his ears swerve a bit back with a small flush to his cheeks. whenever Cyno does it, it's hard not to react that way, the ends of his tail wagging again as he clears his throat to try and recompose himself. what a silly reaction... embarrassing, hopefully the other doesn't notice. ]
I'll be alright. If I'm capable of sticking to my patrols, a little traveling should be just fine. If I need a momentary break I'll be sure to tell you, Cyno.
[ this time he offers a reassuring smile, not really hiding his enthusiasm in this small trip. he will focus on gathering anything he will need in his travel bag in the meantime. ]
[ he doesn't mean to fluster the forest watcher, not even a little bit--- though the meaning of it was very much intended. being affectionate doesn't come naturally to cyno; brutal and efficient honesty is what feels correct to him almost every time. if that means physically intimidating someone, then that's what he does. if it means tearing someone into pieces bit by bit using a calculating and cold logic, then that's what he needs to do.
though it is nice seeing color on tighnari's face... almost the same shade of the flower he took from that oasis. ]
Alright.
[ a beat, as he moves over to the exit of the dwelling, turning to look out of the peripheral of his eye. ]
Don't think I'll let us continue if I deem it necessary. I'll carry you the entire way if I have to.
[ of course he follows close by, his travel bag is always prepared and ready for him to leave at any moment. all he needs to ensure is he sets his notes within as well, leaving behind the offered specimen for safekeeping. he doesn't want to damage it, or even lose it after the other went to the trouble of bringing it to him.
fortunately, he's accustomed to Cyno's company so he's back to himself quickly, brushing that earlier fluster aside. except, his words have his ears twitching before folding completely back with a quick lash of his tail. ]
Carry me? That really won't be necessary-- I can manage.
[ a light huff escapes him, following after and even moving to leave without a pause in his step. though he doesn't go far, after all, Cyno is the only one between them both who can lead them the way. however, Tighnari doesn't follow helplessly along, falling into habit as he keeps an eye out, looking to nearby trails. his gaze being caught by anything that may stand out. ]
