[ considering the first sentence out of tobari's mouth, rafayel doesn't end up expecting the rest. including, the way he so effortlessly reaches to grab hold of his hand. he can't help but for his eyes to travel to their joined hands, and he returns the gesture with a slight squeeze, like greeting an old friend.
maybe being by the ocean, even if all an illusion was enough for this feeling of nostalgia to kick in. honestly, the more tobari speaks, the less rafayel is convinced he's someone he's just met weeks ago, and he feels the weight of this unspoken connection. ]
Even if I do, I have a feeling it might be something I shouldn't have. [ though, he'll always value the feelings behind the gesture. even now, the compass in his pocket acts more of a reminder of that, and his desire to press forward. tobari at least gave him strength to believe in that. ] But, I'll accept just your feelings. To be honest, I think I'll also miss this. Maybe months from now, I'll think back to this moment, and... [ the clear communication. the easy way in which they could just speak their mind. having someone who says they're in his corner. ]
But, huh... you still had that many more wishes?
[ he cocks his head to the side in the way he always does, his tone of voice light and almost teasing. ] Then can you grant mine first?
