[ pointedly: ] And you?

I won't be alone, either. I'll be okay.

…

Don’t try and put on a brave face if you’re not though. Just say something.

[she nods]

I know. I'll talk to someone if I need to. ...thank you.

Yeah... well. Make sure you do. Don't just say that as lip service, all right?

All right, all right! ...thanks for worrying.

I'd say you're giving me grey hairs but... I kinda skipped that phase, huh?

Oh, it's not just dyed?

Nope. It's natural.

... Well, maybe a little super-natural tweaking but it used to be grey and it always had been, so it doesn't count.

Will it stay grey when you get older? Or does it turn into a different color where you're from?

Probably! Or, y'know. White. It's au naturel.

[ they don't have french in cold steel yet here he is speaking french to the french girl. ]

[she giggles]

It's easy to imagine!

[since his hair is. almost white anyway.]

[ it is actually white but the character sprite is so... similar you can completely miss it. ]

At least it doesn't make me look like a grandpa.

[ be kind, lila. ]

It doesn't! Your face is too young-looking for that. Don't worry, no one could ever mistake you for a senior citizen.

... Somehow that's both reassuring and also not all at once.

How is it not?

Hearing it feels like I'm being pitied by the youth.

But you're not? I'm just being honest...

I know. But I still feel it.

[ alas ]

Don’t worry about it.

Sorry...

[she looks worried about it]

[ just.

headpat. ]

I said don't.

...okay.

[well

she doesn't seem to know what to do with herself now]

[ 10/10 to both of them. ]

...

[ wow, awkward. ]

C'mon. I need to not think about today anymore. You had something to eat?

Oh - no, not yet. You want to go grab something?

Might as well. Crap situations don’t take away the fact we get hungry.

[ … ]

That and starving isn’t gonna help.
