[ Felih’s smile does falter then, an ache in his eyes and a weakness to the curve of his lips. ]

Yes, darling. I’ll take more care- I suppose I was too hopeful. In my shard, there’s a young man so much like you- you share his name, even. I consider him a dear, precious friend- my darling little academician.

I’ll be less touchy until you’re used to me, hm?

But ever vigilant you are! I suppose there’s something to admire in that. Such a dutiful one you seem! Fear not, such war looms far from here- much as I wish to return home to the fight, I cannot for the time being.

[ He manages to strengthen the smile, reaching out to gently smooth down some of the hair he ruffled earlier. ]

I would be glad for the chance to know you again. If there is aight you would require, do not hesitate to call upon me- or on the other Warriors of Light. No doubt we would all come to your aid in a heartbeat.

Hmmm... but while we are here... you really should swim, Alphi.

[That sure is... a bit of news. He can't say he's totally comfortable with the notion, but it does explain why Felih is so... familiar, and yet not, and it's not the first he's heard of it anyway. He shifts his weight to the other foot awkwardly.]

I-I see. I would not attempt to replace the Alphinaud you know, as such a thing is hardly fair to either of us, but I do not see any reason we should not get to know one another again. If you do not mind the effort, that is.

[Felih seems enthusiastic, though, in a word. Alphinaud thinks he can make it work.]

They say we cannot return, but I prefer to keep my mind open. Though I've no idea of where to begin I would rather ascertain the situation myself rather than taking the government at their word.

[Alphinaud blinks as Felih pets down some of his hair, and it's followed by a little bit of a blush, which he tries to dispel by glancing away and clearing his throat. Politely, of course.]

Mayhap I will consider that should I find myself in a situation I am not amenable to. [He tilts his head a little.] So you are a Warrior of Light... I had wondered, seeing as I have few close friends outside of the Scions.

[He makes a face at that last part, though.]

Your suggestion has been noted, but I assure you I am quite all right here in the shade and the dry.

[ Felih just laughs softly, and smooths down his hair a little more before withdrawing his touch, delighted to see how cute and pink Alphinaud's cheeks get. ]

You're ever a sweetheart, it seems. I would be glad to know you once more.

Yes- I am among those here called Warriors of Light. It's fascinating, albeit unsettling, to see and meet others who have gone through the same journey I have... but it's fun to hear of the others, and learn what makes us different from each other.

Oh, don't tell me you don't know how to swim, Alphinaud? I can teach you- I am quite skilled. Was born swimming, and all that! Besides, it's such a lovely day, and the water is gentle and warm.
