I noticed how Rhoa winced when I said that I was glad that his brother was alive and well. I didn't understand why he would react that way or why he would look away from me. I really was truly happy that his brother had come back to him. Was it wrong for me to not want him to have to experience the same pain that I felt over Hototo? "I'm sorry." I murmured. "I didn't mean to offend you..." At least I assumed by his wince that I had offended him. "What's your brother's name?" I figured there was a chance that I would run into Rhoa's brother and if I did, well, I wanted to know who he was.
Shortly after my question our conversation turned to a less disheartening subject. I couldn't help but smile and laugh quietly as Rhoa told me about Bucephalus' failed crafting. "I think you'll find much of the same from me." I admitted. It did make me feel better, though, to know that Bucephalus had not started out perfect with his crafting. Still, I knew that I had a lot to live up to. "No, I suppose there's nothing pressing." I agreed. "But that's no excuse for me to procrastinate." And yet that was exactly what I was doing and I think I was pretty good at that.
"I've never had the crafting magic, but I would be happy to help you gather resources. That is if you need it."
"Of course!" I blurted out then grinned sheepishly. "I mean ... I would love help." I was happy that he had offered to help me gather resources I just .... I hoped it wouldn't be a one time thing. I rather enjoyed Rhoa's company despite the awkward moments that we had both suffered through. "Would you want to be my partner?" I found myself asking. "Or ... is there anything that I could make for you? As practice..."
