[Her words gave him pause not because he didn't believe them, but because he didn't want to. He expected Vincent would want nothing to do with him after this, and rightfully so, but that didn't mean that the other boy had never been his friend, did it? After they had gotten so close, closer than he knew was even wise...that wasn't meaningless.
It couldn't be.
Turning his attention away from Reimi, Kit inspected a nearby pot of violets, his fingers tracing the small and delicate petals before checking the soil. They seemed healthy, but only because people sacrificed their time to look after them. Nature couldn't work its magic here. And it was the same for Vincent and him.
He was meant to be Hiei's partner eventually, but he couldn't do that if he didn't know what to expect. Was the other boy's soul going to be wrenched out of his body upon Awakening? Did he recover back where they came from? What other dangers might have befallen them before or even after that turn of events? If Kit was going to be useful...then he had to be someone better than he was now. It was the only way.
Nature couldn't help him now. He had to help himself.]
I'll be fine. It's everyone else I'm worried about.
