[that's immediate and sincere. it takes him a moment to continue, something both warm and a little hollow in his voice.]
He... He's an amazing person. Really brave, really strong. He can be a little standoffish, but just because he isn't that outgoing doesn't mean he doesn't care about other people. Everything he's done is to try and keep the people around him safe.

... I see. You must miss him dearly.
Will you tell me more about him?

mikazuki's expression softens as he listens, and he will reach out to let his hand rest atop rupert's head again. truly just like a grandfather.]
... I can hear the love you have for him. Thank you for sharing a piece of something so important to you with me.
We will have to ensure his safety, and reunite you soon.

[it comes out a little rough, but he does sound honestly grateful.]
I - can't lose him. I refuse to let that happen.
no subject

So you will not lose him. Love has been enough to change the course of history, after all.
no subject
Yeah. I really hope that's the case again.
no subject
Is something the matter?
no subject
Sorry, I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but - I'd prefer not to talk about it. Maybe some other time?
no subject
Oh, I have nothing but time.
I seek not your apology - only your peace of mind.
no subject
[and that's genuine, despite him asking not to talk about it.]
