[Takame gave Waver all of his focus. It helped to steady him as well. As he spoke his truth, Takame couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself in his moments of clarity.

He knew this well. Painfully well. He was one man, not an army. He could be in only one place, follow his orders or his heart in one space at a time. Keep others safe a little at a time, that was the reality of the situation. He wasn't so foolishly idealistic as to think anything else.

He wouldn't ever confess to thinking Waver's words were just that to him right now.

A true knight, indeed. Takame's tone was weak as he spoke.]

To think I would need to be reminded of this.

Sometimes even the obvious needs restating. There isn't anything wrong with that.

[He let out a slow breath, hand still steady on Takame's arm. Completely wrung out emotionally and refusing to show it, because that wasn't how Lord El-Melloi II conducted himself. He was something that couldn't afford to show human weakness, couldn't let himself collapse so long as others were in need of his support. The dream of an ideal knight held up by the icy mask of a pragmatic mage, and the human called Waver Velvet crushed to dust by the need to shine and burn out like any other star.]

Mm. Fo--, ah. [He shook his head. "Forgive me", he almost said. Always needing to show regret for any emotion. He wasn't allowed to feel until well into his adulthood. It would take more than the few years it's been for the habit to break in full.

But in his mind he should keep to it for a bit longer.

It was for that reason he didn't even consider that Waver was hiding behind a mask, just as exhausted. There was just guilt.]

Thank you.

There's nothing you need to thank me for. You're my friend, and you were kind enough to come over so I didn't go insane. Talking out all this shit is fine with me.

My company is the only thing I can offer. But if it has helped you in some form, I am glad.

[Said with a heavy sigh. Useless in anything but a fight...]

Don't be ridiculous. Of course it has, and that's worth something.
