[ A laugh—airy and bright—rings along with that wry chuckle, for Sion is startled, delighted, giving the briefest, barest pause before ascending to the next flight of stairs because, Shinn, you answered him seriously. Instead of saying ah, nonsense! or you know, I'm not into holding hands with guys!, Shinn spoke only the truth bluntly and blatantly, as only he could see it.
Shinn, he would never change, would he? Even if the world betrayed him, Shinn would always barrel forward and blitzkrieg through, and it is refreshing (a relief) to know that, in this way, they are two of a kind.
And precisely because they are the same--...
Mm, Sion cannot help it: it sucks, it is sappy, and it is weird territory and foreign ground for a King who so rarely allows for others to glimpse the truest facets of himself, but he wants to let Shinn in; he wants for the younger man to know the peace for which they fight, even if it should start with something so small as making dango with a friend in a place which could never be infringed upon—home. ]
Only once in a while? [ He grins, chancing a glance back, toward Shinn, with a rather expectant look. Are you not more fond of me than that? ] Then...
[ Perhaps it is some small blessing that they were recognized as Heroes, for those lingering upon the many stairwells of the iconic climb part way for the two who are seemingly keen upon swiftly reaching the ivory tower's height! ]
Expect me to call upon you often. [ Woah. That was unabashed??? ] The rooftop, I've found, is perfect for gazing upon the stars at night, and I should hate to be without your stories.
I want to hear more about her, the one who has captured your heart. And in turn— [ Could they be nearing their destination? It seems so, as the crowds thin, the clamor of many voices dissolving away into just their own. ] —I would like for you to meet my own radiant Lady.
[ Ah yes, the dramatic reveal, coming on the heels of Sion finishing his ice cream cone...! ]
She lives with me, as a matter of fact, likely to ensure that, much akin to yourself, that I not be a 'dumbass'.
[ ..........Shinn, you've influenced this King's style of speaking, haven't you? That was much too casual! ]
