[ Of course Argenti would say that...but, he does mean it.
As for Aerith's expression of gratitude, though, there is a warmth in his eyes that begins to settle; obviously and clearly so. Such that it also touches the way he smiles on over at her, gentle and easy as ever. ]
...It truly is no trouble at all. I am glad to be able to support you in all that I could.
You've been there for me when I needed it most, after all. But even if it were not the case, I know I would have always endeavored to lend a hand to you. Whether it is with my own, or just by listening.
[ That gentleness is reflected right back at him, soft in the brightness of her eyes. ]
We've really hit the jackpot as friends, huh? I feel like we kinda get each other... You always say what I need to hear, and I like to think that you're not afraid to open up to me a little either.
[ A reflection that makes him ever the more happy for being able to behold its soft image and feeling. ]
We did. You have become a friend that is near and dear to my heart.
[ Aerith's presence and entire being is a mark on his soul that he will never forget; that he will always be grateful for. ]
Perhaps it has helped that we always understood one another swiftly, from the very beginning. That, no matter what happened, we always know what lies in each other's hearts.
And this is not just simply speaking these words as feeling...every conversation we have had is magnificent proof of this. Though, I shall indeed admit that you are someone it has always been easy to speak earnestly, and at length to on certain personal matters.
[ He's right about always knowing what made up one another's hearts, and that they've found meaning in the same things. From the start, they really did know one another well. ]
I'm glad. I know I'm not always really honest about how I feel, but... it's been easy to be that way with you, I think because I could always tell that you were.

[ She laughs. As if that's hard for Aerith to get anyway. ]
But thanks, Argenti. Your support really means a lot, y'know. Just in general, not even about my relationship with her.

There is something to be said, for being honest.
Though, there is also something to be said for people being able to recognize that too. ]
What you've said is quite touching, Lady Aerith. Your kindness and consideration feels, at times, quite boundless.
...But, of course, you have also been correct in those assumptions.
no subject
[ She feels like it can be quite limited in its quantity, honestly. But if that's what Argenti sees, then she supposes she can allow him to see it. ]
I'm glad you feel that way, though. You always make me feel a little more sure of myself.
