That description must only come from yourself. The entirety of the Crystarium does naught but sing your praise.

[ So says the Viera between sips of tea. The Exarch is hardly a villain and he'd be hard pressed to convince anyone of this. Poor thing has set himself up to fail on that account.

Fingers squeeze around the cup a bit tighter all the same. His "wishes" and "wants" are kind of all jumbled up right now. Therein lies the problem. Theo has been through this before - both with "company" and without. The instinctual drive and desires he is familiar with. They are nothing new. However they have never quite so aligned with his personal ones before. It isn't just what Theo is experiencing that craves the Exarch's company - it is also Theo himself and that is what is throwing him off. This is what is making it difficult for the Viera to maintain his usual status quo.

And now that the other has said he's willing to stay? There's no possible way that Theo can let go of the idea. ]

I suppose we'll see if you return. [ Slight hope that maybe the other will be preoccupied? ] Though Lyna might have suggested that you seem. Happier.
