Coraline looked at Aidan curiously, reaching out to touch his hand when he looked like that. Curling her fingertips around his hand, Coraline squeezed his hand gently before tugging him closer to her.

"Ah, you shouldn't have said that." Coraline said admonishing Aidan lightly, ducking her head with a slight smile. "When people tell me to stay away from things, I tend to stay away from them by investigating thoroughly why I need to stay away from them. My parents always said I'm far too curious for my own good."

Coraline's hand remained with Aidan's, thumb absentmindedly stroking the back of his hand. Coraline looked at Aidan curiously, her nose wrinkling as she studied him.

"Do you have a lot of complicated friendships?" Coraline asked.
