[ It's hard to be honest, and it's hard to say exactly what he wants to, but he does his best. Sorey has been honest with him, and when he asked... He knows that the Shepherd spoke from his heart. Zaveid has no right to hide things, to deny them, to pretend otherwise, and even if his past is a murky sea of pain and heartache he knows his future can be brighter.
He doesn't want to hide things anymore. It's too hard. He feels like he's wandering around in circles trying to find an answer to a question he hasn't even been asked, and it leaves him on edge and uncertain because he genuinely doesn't know what to do. He knows he has to talk to Lailah, of course, to figure things out, to make sure this is really going to be okay, but until then...
Zaveid breathes out, looking down at Sorey for a moment.
It's hard not to feel so desperately old when he remembers just how young Sorey is, but for his age... He's strong, and bright, and brave, and maybe that's all that matters for now. ]
...
[ He doesn't have to think about it anymore. Slowly, he wraps his arm around Sorey's shoulders and ruffles his hair. ]
Jeez, if you need me that badly then I guess I can't say no.
