[ Has he? Probably not. Hien doesn't seem ticklish, or at least with the way Elysium is poking at him. Though Hien looks at him when the hand stills and leans his head against it, nuzzling a little against the finger. ]

"Then... I hope you're also inspired."

[transmit]

[ What a ticklish feeling. The finger curls slightly, almost shyly. ]

… Yeah. I've been inspired for a while now. My world is full of incredible people who create miracles each and every day for others through their dedication and effort.

"I hope you're including yourself in that group you're talking about."

[ Though it still feels wrong to compare himself to a star. Yes, he'll eventually guide them, but then--oh. The sun is a star. The sun will explode eventually and kill everything.

...

Huh. ]

[transmit]

[ The sun is indeed a star… get too close, and that's how you become the second coming of Icarus. ]

Yeah?

[ a non-answer. because of course he'd give a non-answer. To distract Hien, he starts messing up his hair into a bird's nest. ]

[selfconcept]

"Yeah."

[ His hair gets tousled into a bird's nest... if only Elysium would nest in his hair forever (no).

Hien would usually say things like "I love you" so casually, but he feels that in this sort of situation, he would just scare Elysium away. He has some tact. Wow. It's not like him to hold back on his feelings because he just wants to communicate them to the person, but he wants to keep this for a little longer.

Little does he know, it won't last all that long anyway. ]

"Hey, Elysium."

[ Can you love someone in the span of five weeks…? He thinks it's possible to meet someone you could learn to love, but Hien would be right, he'd be too tripped up by the belief that no one could develop that kind of depth of feeling in so short a time to ever accept it.

That is, until he has to contend with his own feelings. There are certain things he just cannot afford. ]

Buenas. [ He tilts his head in that curious way he usually does, retracting his hand as a gesture of giving him his attention. ] Already wanting a change of scenery?

[selfconcept]

[ Unfortunately, Hien gets easily attached and has been through the motions enough to know what he feels for people. He doesn't second guess his feelings, because he's circled back to it all the same and figures it's a waste of time to doubt. He lives straightforwardly, freely and sincerely when he doesn't have a "job" to do. It's the default face of Hien Callias that he keeps on for so, so long. ]

"No, I was just thinking... I wanna hold your hand. You're right that this form is inconvenient. I wanna hug you too."
