[ He'll accept the hug and mumble back. ]

...you're enjoying this aren't you.

[oxidegreen]

[Without hesitation:]

Yes.

...It's nice to see your soft side too sometimes.

[kaliedoscopes]

[ What has he done to deserve this! ]

I'm not sure how it still exists. [ Quietly, almost inaudible above the sound of the butterflies. ]

[oxidegreen]

[He brought Subete to Saphir's house, among other atrocities, he absolutely deserves this.]

I'm glad it does. ...I don't think I could have trusted anyone again if it didn't.

[kaliedoscopes]

[ Wow was it really that ba—okay yes it absolutely was. ]

...hm?

[oxidegreen]

I've been hated for most of my life. I'm used to people being wary of me all the time.

But... you were always so kind to me. A lot of people there were, but you saw my past and still accepted that.

If all of that turned out to be a lie... it would have been really hard to trust in anyone's kindness again.

[ He laughs and it manages only to be a shade bitter. ]

I'm good at lying except when I shouldn't be, apparently. [ Here, he's going to fully hug her back now too. ]

I still think you deserve someone better than me, but I'll do what I can. I wouldn't have brought Subete, otherwise.

[ Would it have been easier not to? Yeah. But it's important for him to keep moving forward with the truth even if it's difficult and in this case the choice was twofold: he owed it to Subete and he owed it to Marona too because he should share things with people, even if he's being awkward about it.

Unfortunately lies are often easier than the truth, at least in Saphir's case. ]
