Did you forget my reputation as a match-maker? I'm practically a professional.
[He's done it all of once now!
And of course it doesn't apply to himself.]
I could never. Not right now.
I already feel as if I've encroached too far upon his space. At the moment, I am happy to remain where I am, and would prefer not to 'push my luck', as the saying goes.
whoa, i don't know about a "match." don't start planning a wedding or anything!
ok, but... all i'm saying is, if you don't know, ask. i'm not exactly an expert on what he's like... yknow... with other people, but i do know what he's like in general. last time i just assumed how he felt i almost never saw him again. so... just ask.
I won't. However, I demand to be made aware at the first hint of betrothal. Then I'll plan the wedding.
I felt I made my feelings known, and after his response... I thought he returned those feelings. We share the same home. We sleep in the same bed. He is always touching me, and saying sweet things. We talk of intimate, personal matters. I feel I understand his heart and mind. That morning in the hot springs, I all but confessed to him. Perhaps words aren't the problem.
Zephyr is a man of action, and I can be a man of action as well. If he needs to see I am serious about my intentions, then so be it.
what? wait! "all but confessed" doesn't sound like you actually used your words. you can't just expect
【 wow, this is so totally not his business. and is probably weird. maybe he should... Not? to think he'd pretty much accepted it straight out, but now that it's not so clear cut, he's confused as hell. 】
i don't know. you know what you're doing, i sure the heck don't. and i should stay out of it anyways. so... good luck? with whatever you're gonna do? i just hope you guys don't fight.
【 but it doesn't even sound all that direct to him, and he's not an old dork who has trouble reading between the lines. so. that is probably a big mess. 】
that's what i want, too. no matter what happens, you're both important to me. and your happiness is important to me. and if you're happy together, then... i'm happy. you both deserve something you can feel good about. besides, you're already family to me. it's not that big of a jump.
【 well, it. kind of is a little. but he's okay with it. 】
I hope so. I didn't exactly get to hear his response-- we may have fell into the hot springs. Dropped, to be more process. Did I tell you I can walk on water now? It's quite the party trick.
Your father has already had the great love of his life, and he still has you. I know your father doesn't need me to be happy, but I would like to think I could bring him and you some small amount of joy. If I accomplish that much, my own happiness will follow.
whoa, seriously?? how? is that with astral artes or something? or are you just that fancy...
he yeah. but... that's over now. i mean she's gone. and i don't think we're ever gonna see her again. but he's here, and his life's not over. not here at least.
【 ugh, this is so hard to put into words. even harder to posit to someone else once he does, especially someone who actually has a reason to care about what he's saying. doesn't happen for him very often, quite frankly, and he feels exceedingly bad at it. but that's not going to stop him from writing it out, the letters appearing haltingly on the page at times while he works his way through it as he goes. 】
i don't know if this makes any sense, but i just don't want anything that happens here to be "less." he should get to live like there's no end to all the tomorrows he'll see. it's not just some last, desperate chance. it's a real life. and he can be happy forever, not just "until it's over." and i feel like that's what you want for him, too. it is, isn't it? you really care about him. i know you do. so... it's ok.
Astral energy, of course. I wouldn't say it's a full arte, but it could become one. I imagine with some work I might be able to levitate.
That is what I want for your father. I told both of you I would find a way to bring him back, and I will. At the risk of sounding arrogant, I believe such a feat is within my abilities. If I do require assistance, I'm certain Rinwell and Shionne would be willing to lend their strength. Between the three of us, I have no doubt we will succeed.
As for being enough for him... I will try my best.

Thank you.
It means everything to me that you accept my feelings towards your father. Whether we're friends, comrades, or more.
All I want is for all of us to be happy.
