yves makes him jump a little. ]
Ah- uh, well...
[ no ]
no subject

no subject
[ he breathes in, cautious. ]
I don't blame you for it, at all. I know it was difficult for you, too.

... you're really kind, Chrono. Thank you.
I do believe you... but I also think that as kids, you all shouldn't have had to see it. It's okay to still have complicated feelings about it.
no subject
[ it's firm, but with little bite. ]
It's not like it hasn't affected my feelings, but... I get it. I'm sorry it had to be you.
no subject
Ah....
Well, I was already adept with a sword at your age so... it's alright. I'll manage.
no subject
Why do you have to manage? [ a little frustrated; ] I want to understand you better, Yves, but you just kind of brush things off.
no subject
I do?
I'm not against anyone understanding me better... sorry if I gave off that impression.
