Ankh is pretty tired of it, too, to be honest. Which is exactly why he doesn't want to talk more, but there's no good way to say that, either, is there?

He stops, at least, and turns back around to look at him. "And if nothing's wrong?" That's not quite true, but as far as he's concerned it's close enough. It's not something that's holding him back, not the same way the fire was. It's just something he doesn't like talking about, and Eiji is too observant for his own good sometimes.
