[This should be happy, he thinks- pushes himself to remember that. It should be exciting, getting the chance to meet the mysterious Mythra. He'd been invited to by Pyra, even! Each time before, he'd had to ask about her. Now it's finally on her terms, and she's welcoming his curiosity. It shouldn't hurt, and who knows what he'll learn about Pyra through this? That alone would be exciting enough to not hesitate.
It was supposed to be exciting when he was "crowned" by his own Crystal, too, and look how that turned out.
So he does hesitate, just for a few moments more, before he shoves off his uncertainties, refocusing on his stubbornness to follow through. It's not the same, and they trust each other, and he wants this. That all the incentive he needs to try.]
...Okay... here goes.
[Before he can second-guess himself again, or before she can change her mind in order to protect him, he reaches out to touch her crystal, ready for whatever comes next.]
