"It must've slipped my mind." He's being petty and a little childish. It's not exactly uncommon, but he's usually better about keeping it between himself and Su-jin. Well, just the childishness, mostly. His pettiness is often found on full display for everyone to see.
Vena huffs and rolls his eyes at the gentle tone and explanation. "Is that why you chose him?" Vena asks, stepping forward as he reaches out to put his hand on Su-jin's chest, stroking him to smooth away an imaginary wrinkle. Aqua is off-limits but Su-jin isn't. Vena won't touch the blond but he'll gladly put his hands on his partner unnecessarily. "Because he needs to be protected. You always did have a soft spot for those sorts."
--------
Aqua keeps his hand extended until Su-jin squeezes his other one. He slowly begins to withdraw it, then lets it drop entirely when he gets that gentle explanation. It's only when Su-jin speaks to him that he realizes he's the pet. He should've caught on immediately, but he assumed that it was the continuation of a previous conversation or something. It didn't feel like the comment was directed at him, with the way Vena didn't even acknowledge him but- "I'm not a pet," he says softly to himself as he shrinks back, moving to stand about half a step behind Su-jin.
"What is he protecting me from?" Su-jin had mentioned they were both dangerous but they don't seem dangerous. Su-jin has been nothing but kind and helpful to him, and Vena doesn't seem very nice but neither strike him as dangerous.
