[The kiss is soft, and sweet, and his eyes are closed as they draw back, one more sliver of relief to soothe ruffled feathers after a stressful conversation. Her words snap him back to reality, as he too had forgotten... right. She'd found him out here, moping and worrying lone, for a good reason.

So... right. How is he feeling, exactly.]

I'm not... totally sure, yet. I know I love them- always will. I want them to be happy, and... I want to help them find out how to be, if I can. [He shifts a little, inching closer to her.] When we spoke... Luna asked me how I found happiness.

[And that makes him pause, realizing his own words, and he smiles a bit ruefully at her.]

Looks like I should have talked to you, first. I told her I learned how to be selfish, to focus on my own wants instead of other people or the world. I could probably give the same advice to Iggy. They've both spent their whole lives helping other people- for Luna, it was her work as the Oracle, and for Ignis it was taking care of me. I think it would do them a lot of good to focus on themselves. They don't need me in order to be happy, so... what I do shouldn't be all that relevant. I think.

[Even if they love him the same way, he can't offer them what he might have considered in the past. He can help, but... that's up to them. He hopes at least that his rejection (or at least redirection) of their love doesn't mean they can't still be friends. That... ah. He should say it, shouldn't he.]

I don't... want to lose them, by not loving them the way they might want. Like, if it's too painful or disappointing, or... I dunno. I just worry about that.
