[ Ryuji... He's dodging the question, avoiding giving him a direct answer and steering completely off topic.

It's cute. Achilles smiles despite himself. But he's still hurt. He isn't sure how long it will take before he believes Ryuji doesn't think of him as just a character from a silly legend. ]

Then, if I mean anything to you, you should believe in me. [ Is this reasonable...? ] And trust me.

I don't want to made a fool for loving someone who might actually think so little of me.

[ryuji]

[Huh.]

[chariotry]

[ ANSWER ME.... ]

What are you looking at me like that for?

[ryuji]

So... y'know Noctis was gonna punch me in the face, right? The fact that I asked you to come save me... yeah, okay, dumb idea, I get it... but you did. It's not like I don't believe in ya.

[Sits there, rubbing the side of his face.

God, can he stop using the word love? It feels so weird hearing it come out of another person's mouth.]

If you want a direct answer, I thought I kinda gave it to you. A few times. I don't know what it is about you, but I'm weak around you.

And dude, stop saying that word. It's really weird in my culture.

[chariotry]

[ Watching Ryuji, he does start to relax, placated by the answer.

Maybe they haven't quite reached resolution, but this is good enough. ]

I hold all my friends dear to me. [ Is that so weird in his culture? Strange.

He reaches out, running his hand over the top of his head and pushing his bangs back. ] That includes you.

I'm sorry for the pain I've caused you.

[ryuji]

[....]

[ryuji]

[friends?]

[ryuji]

[Ryuji looks at Achilles, incredibly confused for a moment, because that was... that was not at all that he was assuming this conversation was about.






Friends?

Oh.

He blurts it out quickly, because it's the first thing that pops into his head:]

You think... what we have is friendship? [Ryuji.exe has failed to launch]

[chariotry]

Was I wrong to think that we're friends?

[ This... hurt puppy look. ]

[ryuji]

[Scratches the back of his head....]

No! I mean. Yeah, we're friends, dude.

[System message

You don't have enough guts to continue]

[chariotry]

[ You're damn right.

Anyway, Achilles is trying to hug him now. ]

[ryuji]

[He acquiesces in a very non-homoerotic way.]

[chariotry]

[ SQUEEZING HIM TIGHT. He isn't as gentle with men as he is with women. ]

Your friendship honours me. I'll cherish it. [ Very genuine.... and sincere. Please appreciate.

He'll let go eventually, letting Ryuji slip away from the cage of his arms so he can look at his face more clearly and smile. He feels touched... ] Do you feel better?

[ryuji]

[If you liquidate him via bear hug squeeze to death, you can surely suck some of that mana out right from the tap, right Achilles?

Please do it. It's preferable to this embarrassing situation.]

I dunno 'bout that, I think you broke... a rib...

[chariotry]

[ ... PATTING HIS HEAD AGAIN. ]

You should eat more and build up some bulk. Then I can hold you even tighter.

[ryuji]

[This is demeaning.... but if he resists, he knows that they'll end up fighting again, so he'll just... go with the flow. Or something.]

I have been tryin' to bulk up. [Look at that muscle mass! Approximately 3 inches in diameter, a bicep to behold.]

Aw... man, that's... uh. Yeah that's some good motivation right there. [Does he get sarcasm?]
