As Genis started to reply, his smile weakened. He was happy? No, he had to be deluding himself, even now... Of course. Of course. He still couldn't admit it.
Mithos' thoughts were whispers of denial--but then they were silence. Genis continued talking, and Mithos realized then that he had been too quick to jump to conclusions. His friendly expression returned, and he nodded.
"Yes...I know. I was happy to spend time with you too, Genis. I promise that's not going to change--none of that has to change for real. After all, we'll bring Raine back someday. And," he held Genis' hand tighter still, "if you really still want to travel, we can do that too! Raine likes ruins, right? I'm sure there will be even more by the time she's revived! She'd really like that, don't you think?"
Maybe Martel would like to travel again, too... The four of them could all go together! Like when he travelled so long ago, only this time, they would have no worries...no misguided responsibilities for the world.
