dextera’s natural response is to say something, with his voice, when prompto panics like that, but of course he can’t. instead, he holds up his hands placatingly, and quickly shakes his head. ]
[ dextera has never been on this end of a mistaken idiom, and so he’s not really sure what to do, not least of all because the actual explanation of the phrase is not much nicer than the title of it. ]
If you put a frog in boiling water, it will jump out. But if you put a frog in water and slowly increase the temperature, then it won’t notice until it’s too late. That it’s being cooked to death.
