[And he would have protested either the outcome of the Great Shawl Slapfight (this is not a proper fight! what are they even fighting about in the first place at this point!!) or the outcome of the Great Nickname War (he'll show you nickname just as soon as--)
Except. You know. Caren's probably found one of the most foolproof ways of shutting him up, ergo, stealing his air and probably what brain function there is to go with it. Now he's mostly just frozen in a caricature of some kind of fishface, because the path from Point A to Point Z has encountered a fatal error. This is not an expected outcome of either people saying they want to own him, or people trying to tie him up.
His life would be much too interesting otherwise.
So Caren gets her respite and her biting in, for a long moment before he jumps in (very) belated surprise and promptly tries to bite her back again. Hopefully that kiss was a quickie unless she wants to mana exchange through blood, too.]
