[His ears continue to flick a bit at the petting before settling and Fray bumps his head against Argenti's hand as if to encourage him to keep going. That feels nice...]
Of course we did. You don't have to prove it to us; you've already proven that multiple times over.
[ Argenti allows a warm smile to grace his face at this, and so naturally, he will just continue. How is Fray so incredibly adorable...? He feels himself let out a soft sigh at the words - it could be that he is being too hard on himself. ]
...Perhaps you are right. Maybe I just worry, is all.
It's understandable, of course. I can only imagine the weight you bear after such a thing.
[It would be hard to dismiss it solely as the God of Conflict's influence, no matter how true that is. He can see how Argenti might blame himself for it.]
I will be here to remind you, however. You needn't let the guilt crush you. I'm certain I won't be the only one willing to remind of that either.
[ Yes...he does. It might be unreasonable, but he just can't help it. At least Fray does say it is understandable, so he lets out another soft sigh, mostly relieved. ]
You are most correct. I say this now and yet ... I feel as if you are also correct that I shall be hearing more reminders.
[ Argenti thinks he really does want to truly rely on others now. He will have to remind himself of that; his heart has untangled some of its thorns, but it makes sense there would be remnants. Perhaps that is why reminders will not only need to come from him. Thinking of this, he plants a kiss on the top of the other man's head. ]
...But, hearing it from you right now is certainly appreciated as well. Thank you, light of my life.
