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. ]
