[Fray's gaze never once shifts from Argenti's face, even as Argenti looks skyward.]
Aye. Having the opportunity to meet someone so dedicated and fascinating in another world like this is... well, it certainly wasn't what I expected when I arrived here.
[The goddess may have had half a point in bringing them both here, in other words. So he may owe her thanks for that.]
I am... glad that we have the opportunity to speak candidly like this, despite what we have faced today. The others will be struggling as well and I intend to do what small amount I can for them... but I would be lying if I said that they were my first thought.
...I'm glad you've regained some amount of hope, Argenti.
[He never thought this would break Argenti, but the idea of seeing Argenti hurt at all sets him on edge in a way he doesn't like. So knowing that his words have had an impact on the man and that he's feeling a bit better now means the world to Fray.]
[ Argenti feels his face start to warm at the compliment. Then, he manages to look back right at Fray, who is looking right at him. Though, there is a little warm smile on his face, reaching his eyes. ]
You are rather kind with your praise, dear Fray. Yet, I find myself eager to accept it, as hearing you speak it truly warms my heart. Yes, knowing that a thoughtful, compassionate, and hard-working man like yourself would say such positive words of myself in regards to us meeting feels like a blessing.
[ So dedicated and fascinating, is he? Look, that may be simple positive words, but from Fray? It's like he called him the mirror image of Idrila - okay, that is perhaps an exaggeration.
That said, when Fray voices that essentially he is the one who has been his first thought, he feels as if he has left that rage behind, laughing lightly (it still exists, like the pain of that sorrow, but feels so far behind for the moment.) ]
...Something about being a priority to you is like witnessing a flower in bloom. I cannot talk, though, seeing as you are the first that I thought of as well. That is not to say that I will not see to others myself as well, [ Until, well. Things happen but that is a problem for future Argenti!! ] but the sentiment conveyed between us feels nothing short of beautiful. It is a bridge of splendidly radiant mutual sentiment that dares persist in times where events exist to challenge our entire beings.
[ Oops, he is falling down the hill of his flowery yappery...ah well. ]
It is thanks to you, I feel. I know that I would always keep some alive, deep within my heart, it is true - my hope shall never die. But, with you, I feel as if the hope in my heart can always and readily bloom so much more swifter.
