That's good, [Gon answers with a small laugh when Reynir says it isn't crazy, and wonders how deep that reassurance really goes. is it polite face saving, or does Reynir have his own stuff? probably the latter... Gon's finding that everyone's more or less been through something hard, though people's timelines might differ from Gon's.

you know, Growing Up realizations.

to Reynir's assessment, Gon blinks, then his face turns a little pink, ankles recrossing the opposite way as he swings his legs, ruffling the spiky hair of his nape again. Gon knows that, but he does have to be reminded; his guilt still drags him down, makes him worry about being a fussy burden. and it feels nice to hear it, all the same.]

Yeah, that sounds like him. I know you're right. He's just been putting up with me doing crazy stuff for such a long time; I was a little thoughtless! So I'm trying to be better. I'd do it either way, but the Bond's a good opportunity.

[Gon straightens up a little, having another sip of the juice&madsh;and he smiles at Reynir, wiping his mouth.]

Have you and Onni been friends for a long time? I kinda wanna hear more about it.
