( His recollection of Sariel and G'raha just a moment prior, and the vague reminiscence of Junior - only in that he had asked someone so small to kill and it was something that clearly hurt him - is something that slows his steps as Ish recounts it.
Though Ish rebounds back into talk of their date, even in Hwylryn's elevated state can he hear the cut in Ish's voice. Maybe because he'd been so busy with his knives, it's clear to him as a blade cuts through air. )
She shouldn't have.
( He comes to a stop against Ish, their held hands together, until he exposes Ish's red, red palm for a kiss. If he could kiss Ish's heart directly, he would. This will have to do. )
We'll do something much nicer. Something actually fun. But that must have been scary... and I don't want to scare you.
( He isn't exactly down, but he's not so manic as to be without love - he should be dead before that. It's just in a different key, than the usual. The note a little higher. )
