[ . . . hah. Jae-ha shakes his head at that immediately, moving to rest his forehead on hers, if only to catch her attention.]

Then shall we be monsters trying to rein ourselves in together?

[discardia]

[ Well. It works.

Cardia's eyes go a little wide in surprise, and she blinks at him rapidly. ]

You're not a monster, Jae-ha. You're a dragon.

[alttitude]

[Having close conversations doesn't really bother him, and he laughs a little bit at that.]

Others would call it the same thing, you know. But being a dragon is something that I can't help. It's in my skin, my bones, my blood. I've hurt people both by choice and probably by accident, given this leg of mine.

Are we really so different?

[discardia]

[ People don't usually get all up in her personal space like this, for highly understandable reasons okay!! ]

When I was in the air with you... it was incredible. I felt like I could fly, and seeing everything made me feel... free.

I can't give people that kind of feeling.

[alttitude]

- but you do.

[And he holds onto her hand again, taking it between both of his.]

You have a kindness that's difficult to replicate. You can still make people laugh and smile, even when they're in difficult situations.

Being able to free people from their current sadness, even if it's just for a few seconds, is something that you can do. And you shouldn't discredit that.

[discardia]

[ why is he like this ]

Have you been watching me?

[ is he a stalker ]

[alttitude]

[ . . . ? ]

Only as much as is normal to watch beauty.

[Jae-ha does tend to watch others though. That's true.]

[discardia]

[ WHY IS HE LIKE THIS ]

I think you're kinder than I am... that's all. You smile more, too.

[alttitude]

Even if that's true -

I think yours are rarer, and therefore more precious.

[discardia]

And I think you're still saying absurd things.
