[ Only a short while... Maybe that's fine, if only for a short while. Setsuna still isn't certain about what they've become, about being so close, but he wouldn't run from it anymore. If that's how it's going to be, then all he can do is to face it head on. Denying it would only mean to lie against the very same concept of his purpose. Setsuna has always been dedicated to seeking mutual understanding among all that exist... It doesn't matter how futile or foolish it would be, because that's been his wish since he was a child. Even before he received the destiny to seek it eternally.
This too must be part of his journey, to start facing developments that he never encountered before in the life where he didn't belong anywhere. He still feels the same way... Even as such kindness surrounds him, he still has no idea of how to clench all of them. Although he's grown into a young man, his hands are still too small to hold everything flowing through his fingers. Just like this King before him... He isn't the only one too distant to reach. Just looking at this person's face, he thinks of it as well. A kindness that's too close, yet too far... Although they've come to understand each other, it still feels that they're separated by an invisible wall.
Maybe it'll always be there, but it doesn't matter. They can still look at each other, speak to each other... Hold their hands against that wall. So Setsuna approaches, but doesn't enter the waters. He remains on the ground above it, taking it upon himself to be the first to embrace his distant King in his own protective arms. ]
