Mn.. Yeah, I guess you're right. [ he just has to keep hoping, and in the meantime, make this a safe place for the people he loves.

he's quiet for a few moments as he stirs the pot, mouth twitching down faintly in thought. at last, though, he plants his free hand on his hip, glancing back at souji in the living room. ]

Yamato-kun is a lot like you. The big difference, I think, is that he hasn't been human long enough to learn a little more control. Given a few more years, though, I think he'll learn that. [ he glances back to the pot, tapping the spoon off and setting it aside, then putting the lid on it. ] .. It's just.. hard for him, I think. Having you here, knowing that we're not really supposed to interfere with history, seeing you ill. But.. once he has a little time to adjust, it'll be okay. He loves you more than anything in the world.
