[ No, he just didn't think.

But why does he feel like he did something wrong... even if she's smiling--

(Actually he'd rather if she was just outright mad at him.) ]

Lux. [ A pause.

It really is just that it didn't occur to him because he tends to space out on those things. And because... the relations he has with his comrades are a little complicated. ]

Because I'm so glad to have the chance to see them again it's easy to forget myself. But even if they're a part of my home that's here now and I didn't think-- [

And I didn't think I'd ever have that again-- ]

...and even if I didn't think I'd get to see them again for a long time and it means more than anything to me that I can, there are people and reasons I have for feeling that this place is like home as well. Which is something that I think would be a little hard for some of them, too. [ At least... Allen would feel a little guilty. Does feel a little guilty, but then he was hauling around a heavy feeling of guilt indeed over leaving them for months before he even came to Blanc.

But Lavi understanding that and wanting to stand beside him here too anyway had meant more than anything to him. ]
