[ sighs, you're right. he is still the man who saved him... just skins him
he would argue he'd always love miss bodyguard in some way, shape, or form. they were bonded, even in this life, and regardless of it's something she acknowledges or not. she may have no interest in him, but that fact remains constant. but, could he say he trusted her when he can't even shown who he is to her? the emotions he feels are a little different. he realizes love and trust, a relationship that's actually built up...
is a little different.
but, he could say he trusts tobari. with conviction. honestly, he doesn't even consider being disappointed, but maybe that's also a sign he hasn't learned from being abandoned the first time. do they both have issues? maybe. ]
Less alone... I think you're right. [ ... ] I was stranded on the road in the mountains like this once. [ he tries to explain without the details of how he was virtually chased and ran off the road, and without the part of his injuries. ] Back then, I had no one to call for help or even just to talk to, and it made me realize how truly alone I was.

the story of rafayel being left stranded makes tobari frown immediately and his fingers curl around his hand just a little bit tighter, unconsciously. the idea of him being in a situation like that, truly stuck and without anyone... it bothers him. even in tobari's own last moments, when he did die back on itehari (which is still slightly odd to think on now), he didn't feel that level of isolation. no one let him. he was lucky. truly lucky. ]
... I won't let you feel that way again.
[ such a certain declaration—but he means it. regardless of whatever this relationship turns into. he feels so strongly about this that he even forgets for a moment that he might not even have that much time left. how easily he could be made into a liar. ]
You don't need to thank me for that, though. I'm choosing to be here. Every second.
[ maybe he's bound to rafayel in his own way because of the vial and his own sense of gratitude, sure... but he doesn't think that discredits his active choice to spend time with him. to choose him. ]
