What did Ryse have to feel guilty for? That wasn’t a rhetorical question. But it was one that Ozaki would perhaps ask… Later though. If he were to wager a guess it would be at her very existence as a hybrid which had caused both herself and her mother grief over the years because there were those who could not take people who were different than them.
It felt weird right now. Normally he tried so hard to keep on some sort of strong mask at the school. He wanted to be the kind of person that someone might look for help from. Ozaki’s whole life he tried to act strong, like nothing could beat him down. He may have gone through some hardships, but he came out stronger for them. He didn’t need anyone’s help, he had gone through the worst of it and come out the other side, but he was more than happy to offer help to someone else. Be the person he wished he had back then. Because no one should have to go through that alone.
Ozaki had thought he was through the worst of it, he had come through the other side. But… He was still in the midst of it, wasn’t he?
And right now it felt good to not be alone. Safe to allow himself to be small, to be comforted. Ozaki had a feeling that should he need it… There were those who would protect him. His pride chafed at the idea of needing it. Ryse, Jers, Nyx. Probably even Dawn, though she was likely to kick his ass first for getting in this state. And for the love of Satan, even Mordred for some blasted reason. Even if his attempts at such were highly unwelcome.
“That… That sounds nice.” He rasped. Probably for the best Ryse didn’t have a talent to make this magically go away… Magic such as that could not truly work for any lasting amount of time. He couldn’t believe the answer would be so simple. Just having her here, not being alone was the best thing she could do right now. But soon she’d have to go… And that’d be fine. "I guess I'll try those things."
