Wrathion flicks his own small smile in response.

"I know I am a challenging companion myself. I assume there is some enjoyment in it for you."

If Anduin preferred an easier life, after all, he surely has much better options for friends? Wrathion has things in his favour -- he's handsome, intelligent, interesting -- but he's well aware of his own flaws as well. A less patient, less kind person might say that some days they outnumber the advantages.

It's good Anduin is both kind and patient.
