Have you heard of Idrila? I am one who follows them ardently, as a Knight of Beauty. If you ever wish to ask anything of me, I will gladly answer, and do my best to assist.
NOTE
The universe is filled with beauty. No matter where one is in the cosmos, this is a truth ingrained in existence itself. Therefore, I shall treasure every meeting between each and every beautiful soul I cross paths with.
[ ...Ah. He hadn't been certain of the result, but...
This is something he had not expected beyond his wildest imagination - maybe it should have been obvious. That it all could have lead to this result. Her reaction being so receptive.
But these words, the emotional behind her voice...this is all indicative of more than just simple relief.
Argenti can tell, with that expression of gratitude, with the way that she looks at him - that this a complete expression of joy, and other complex feelings.
Argenti grants her a little smile in her direction. ]
I could never fail to be kind to you, my dear friend. You speak such words, that make me happy. I am also glad you took the risk in telling me all of this, no matter how you felt. I understand it could not be easy.
All the same, you must understand that your thoughtful words reach my heart in turn. Your praise, your acts of kindness and consideration...I will remember them, always.
And, I have been grateful most of all, for having the chance to meet you. Every bit of consideration I feel is something that you deserve.
[ Then, he will hold out his arms to Sayaka. Giving her the option to come to him for an embrace. He has a feeling she'll need one - and if she doesn't necessarily need it, that maybe she'll want it too.
...It'll also give her a chance to hide her face when the water works inevitably (?) come. ]
[How funny it is, that he opens his arms so readily in response to all of this. Sayaka just straight up loses the battle of keeping her emotions under control, and while she thankfully doesn't tackle him like she'd done with Fray in the past...
Well, she winds up going into his arms easily, hugging him tightly and finally just. Allowing herself to cry. In relief, out of the kindness he was still willing to show her after he'd heard everything. He still chose to believe. He still chooses to believe in her, and that unflinching kindness and support...it touches her heart in ways she never thought she'd deserve.
But she doesn't get to decide how other people judge her. They get to do that. And it means the world that people still care for her after that.]
Thank you. T-Thank you, thank you Argenti, I--
[...]
...I'm not used to this. I'm sorry. I've only ever known the idea that failure to hide who you are would lead to people hating you, and that you couldn't ever let them see you. Because if you did, they could use it against you. Everyone would hate you. And...you'd just end up alone at the end of it all, whether you tried to be better or not.
Thank you. Your...your kind words have reached me too.
[ Argenti thinks he can very much handle some nice hug tackles, but this is fine as well - instead he gets to hold Sayaka in his arms with remarkable ease. Shifting slightly so he continue to cradle her as she cries into him.
His expression is soft, understanding. He is certain that she was about to unleash tears, so this feels expected. And sometimes, it can be cathartic, to release such emotions.
But, her words - the ones she speak afterwards - continue to warm and soothe his heart so. ]
...For this, there is no need to apologize. You had never had many people that you can even trust in your life - instead, there were many you could never even dream of leaning against for any support. This, I understand well.
That is why I am so glad that I can provide you that. This unending support - and proof that you would not be alone.
And as for your expression of gratitude, consider it something that I shall always be willing to give to you.
[ Nothing less than that for sure. This belief in her will persist as long as Argenti will have it be. ]
It feels...strange, to have such a kind understanding from him--but she welcomes the warmth, craving it and the understanding that Argenti is seeing every bit of her. No more illusions of a perfect, beautiful girl; Sayaka can just be, without the anxiety of perfection.]
...I appreciate it, Argenti. I...don't know what the path forward is going to look like from here, but--
I want to do better. I want to...if I can't make up for what I did, I want to ensure that it doesn't happen again. I want to help people, even if I don't know how. I...
[Sayaka hesitates, wiping her eyes a bit, but her tone is determined.]
...I don't know what I want, but having you all by my side...it makes me feel like I can do anything I set my mind too.
[ Argenti himself recognizes that feeling - that sentiment which rings similarly in his own heart. The way ahead is unknown; unfamiliar, and at times, a bit filled with nothing less than acute trepidation - but at the same time, knowing that others are there on that path, will support you as you are...
It makes all the difference. Argenti truly could only ever continue to understand - can only ever want to make it clear. ]
...I am truly happy that I can give you that much inspiration - the motivation and drive to keep moving forward. Even if you are uncertain of what it looks like ahead; I know myself what that had looked like for myself as well.
[ Perhaps that is another reason why he understands that much. ]
At any point whenever it becomes difficult, it shall also serve as a reminder that I will still continue to be here for you.
