[ nothing he says seems to surprise her. this feels familiar in a few ways, and it makes her think about people she's left behind. but at the same time, taair is taair, and it means she's patient as he explains. ]
There's nothing wrong with needing more evidence either. Though I think sometimes all a person needs is a little push toward something they believe in to begin with.
Do you even know what kind of evidence you'd like to see?
... Hmm. [ another thoughtful pause. ] I'm not sure what it would be. I think... truthfully, my dear Zuriel - I have put the most value on my dear friendships, here. There's...

There is an emptiness, that I feel has been filled. Patched, at least. In ways that I cannot describe. And that, that sensation alone, that means the world to me.
[ she's just moving to grab for his hand, because sometimes you are just touchy with people you care about. ]
I'd like to see better than "patched", someday, for you... but I'm glad. I know things have been difficult the last few weeks, especially the weekends, but we're only going to get through this because of those friendships. Maybe that's just me, but I know I wouldn't have gotten what I wanted without my friends. Even if it took me time to find them.
[ uuuu of course his face softens immediately, and taair cups his other hand over top of hers to squeeze it between his. touchy is always welcome - over the weeks, that's a change. he's starting to get used to the affections of others, the way they so easily come when he's not expecting them. how badly he needed them, before. ]
I feel the exact same way. It is part of what makes my bond with you so very precious, you know - you are my dear friend, and talking with you always brightens my day. [ his blorbo. ] Whether we speak of everything or nothing - or even if we just lay around in the garden.
[ there's a light laugh because she understands and agrees with that sentiment. ]
I think those are the most important bonds you can have. The kind where you don't have to be doing anything magnificent but it still feels like it every day. Those are the kind I want for you.
