[ Crow is definitely softer than he realizes, especially without the bulk of his memories. His perception of himself is a little skewed in several different ways.

Rean's method of expressing himself is pretty successful. He's right that Crow would just get more upset if Rean said he didn't mind, but the kissing is nice. More than nice, he responds to it quite readily without, for the moment, pushing for more-- just accepting softly, hungrily.

And when Rean pulls away, Crow lifts a hand to trace his thumb along Rean's jaw.
]

I can't promise I won't make any more mistakes.

[ He murmurs the words quietly, for Rean's ears only-- as if anyone else could hear them in the first place. ]

But I won't make the same ones twice.

Okay.

[He leans a little into Crow's touch before settling back in his seat.]

Anything I can do to help?

[Whatever Crow happens to need to deal with what happened. Rean only died, no big deal. Crow had to watch his whole team eat people.]

[ Is there a way to say "I just want to spend time with you" without sounding like a sap? ....Probably not. ]

You're doing it right now.

[ It really does help. ]

That's works for me. Stick around a while.

Thanks, Rean.

[ For all of this, he means, not just the offer-- for talking him through things. Even if there's a lot still uncertain, it helped. ]

....How are you holding up?

I'm more worried about everyone else honestly.

See, that's what I'm here for-- since you won't worry about yourself, I'll do it for you.

[ His tone is lighthearted, gently teasing Rean before he gets serious again. ]

It's gonna take everyone a while before they can move on from this. It's pretty upsetting stuff.

Haha...

[He scratches his cheek.]

I appreciate it... but you're right. This isn't the short of thing anyone moves on from in a day or two.

It's really not. I'd imagine it's even worse for the people who were forced to be kami.

[ At least he hadn't been forced to exist with that unrelenting hunger. ]

Almost certainly. But having to watch can't be great either.

[ Crow is pretty sure the guy who bullied them into eating doesn't get a right to complain. Because that's definitely how this works. ]

It's not, but as it turns out I'm also more worried about everyone else.

[ It's not even a lie. ]
