[ Dash shrugs dramatically, as if to say, 'who, me? Nah!' Whether or not he thinks he's cute, he's charmed and endeared by the idea that Sungmin thinks as much. In his eyes, he's done nothing in particular to merit the comment, but he's not opposed to trying to elicit a positive reaction.

Sungmin is cute when he's happy, after all. And Dash always wants people to be happy. ]

Oh, [ he says, drawing out the sound and trailing off slightly. ] The twenties... [ And, unwittingly, he mirrors a shade of Sungmin's thoughts: ] I'm in my twenties. Barely. [ For nearly thirty, he does look a touch young.

But again, not so dramatically so that it's noticeable. He shifts his weight, ending a little closer to Sungmin than before. ] I can show you all sorts of things! [ The magic of hats, by Dash.

At the whistle, Dash reflexively rubs his neck, as if uncomfortable. But the expression barely shows on his face before he's smiling nervously, one kind of furrow in his brow written over by another. ]

Um, I don't know yet, actually. I guess it's because I haven't gone back there. [ He makes the same circle again to indicate the godly realm. ] I just found out who I am a little while ago. I guess my mother left me with some humans right after I was born - they're the only parents I ever knew - and then she left, poof, and no one's seen her since. I only know what I know because some people from the godly realm have found me and filled me in on a few things.

[ Another shrug, this one less for show and more to show he's a bit lost. ] That's sort of a gloomy topic, oops! I could've picked a juicier secret!
