[ He wants to know, but the words to express that don't come. It's not the right time. Lux, like Akira, obviously has a lot of baggage. A lot of thoughts she's locked deep down to continue being a beacon of strength for others. A lot of secrets that aren't easy to dredge up into the light just because she's far away from her world. Akira gets it.
Another time. He can be patient when he needs to be, for the right things.
For now, he'll carry on along the path, although not before watching her figure glide through the dark ahead. ]
Hmm.
[ There's a hint of a smile with the hum. He's not going to ask about that either, but it's more that he has a sense of what the answer is already. It seemed like his feelings reached Lux, after all.
With his longer stride, Akira catches up easily, adjusting back down to her pace once he's at her side again. ]
I've had an idea about you for a while. [ It's just a feeling, a little hunch, but she reminds him of his friends back home, and that says it all. ]
[ He piques her interest, and as Akira walks beside her, Lux gives him an intrigued look. She isn't used to hearing other people's opinions of her, outside of the usual praise for her actions, and he doesn't feel like the type to offer platitudes. Not after that conversation. ]
Oh? And what is that?
[ He's going to leave her hanging, isn't he?
He does have some time to give her an answer, although not much. While normally difficult to see at night, the light of magic faintly paints across the rocky mouth of Smugha cave in the distance. ]
[ He won't really keep her waiting too long. The soft glow of magical light is a welcome sight after all of this darkness. It's still too far to highlight his smile as he looks down at her, but the expression is there all the same. ]
You're a good person.
[ There's no doubt there. Even from that first meeting in that infirmary outside the Wall, he got that sense. Since then, has she ever put her own interests before other's? Not as far as Akira has seen. ]
When it comes down to it, you'll always do what you believe is best for others.
