He smiled softly. Mithos understood, and he sympathized; he didn't blame Genis for feeling that way, but he'd help him to change, little by little.
"Right. And you'd do the same for her." Just like he and Martel. They were all the same, really.
He moved his hand from Genis' shoulder to his face, touching his cheek gently in encouragement. "I'm here for you every step of the way, Genis. Don't worry...I'll help you grow even stronger."
His voice grew in confidence, as he hoped that confidence would lift Genis' spirits. "One step at a time, all right? You don't have to rush anything." After all, they had all the time in the world...or they would, once Genis became an angel. But even that could wait a little longer until he was feeling better, now that Mithos understood his hesitation more deeply.
