Taka doesn't make friends easily, but he likes you a lot. He wants to stay with you as long as he can, and I just wanted to say thanks for getting through to him. Even if things are hard for him here... I think it helps to have someone besides me - since we know each other from home - for him to be attached to.
And Ishirin-san... It's with your power that he's able to protect all of us - so even if it's indirect, I wanted to thank you for that too. I'm sure you're taking care of him as best you can - as much as he'll let any of us take care of him anyway.
They've both been through a lot and I'm... I won't lie, I'm pretty worried - so if you have any ideas on something I can do to help, I'm all ears!
[ . . . ]
But I wanted you to know that I'm grateful, first.
[...what do you even say to that? For a moment, Merriment sort of just looks at Senri warily (or sort of, considering there's a mask) and there's a stretch of silence as he processes that.
And rubs the back of his neck in embarrassment? Wow.]
...Ishi's been really helpful, especially the last week. I appreciate getting to work with him. And Taka's a great kid. He's a really great kid, and...I don't think he gets how much he's done for me. I'm going to do whatever I can to make sure he's alright and makes it out of here in one piece. Ishi, too, for as long as he stays with me.
[...enough of that though.] So...don't thank me too much. It's worked out.
Me too. To all of that - me too. I'm really happy that you all found each other....
Well, I still wanted to say it though, because it was important to me. I couldn't join your team but... well, looks like you found some really loyal people in my stead. It's a relief.
They're both incredibly loyal. I don't think I could have asked for better followers. Taka especially. [Merriment is very fond of Taka, excuse him.] I'm just glad they're both alright after yesterday.
[Which he thinks might be part of why Senri's actually here.]
