( Well, Ish isn't the protagonist so he is at a disadvantage here...
Hwylryn makes that melodic hum, thinking about it genuinely. He didn't have the time to reflect on what it is about Akira that so moved him before coming here, so this is his first. He might be more playful with his answer normally, but a deal's a deal - when it comes to pacts with spirits and things, he isn't the sort to be cagey until the other party raps his desk and claims something's within scope. )
If you meant it. If it meant something to you.
( He can't speak on every case with certainty, but he thinks that might be the throughline here. He felt a ripple in the water of his heart's surface when he met Akira - and Akira, in turn, seemed to feel something in turn. And so they reached out to one another. )
I have no community, and for much of my life I've traveled alone. ( Such is the nature of magical creatures in Mahoyaku land... innately isolated, centuries of missed connections, despite best efforts. ) I think... when you want to reach out to connect, and someone reaches back to take your hand... It's pretty rare that happens. So it's hard not to want to hold on tight, you know?
