She will be fine, I'm sure. I do have to craft an appropriate apology though, I'm sure.

[ he will definitely not say anything that will disprove that tara is somehow a person. "is it is his wife or his cat" is a constant struggle when gale talks about her. ]

Surely, she'll understand that we are in strange circumstances...? [ his poor wife slash daughter slash female friend slash companion slash whatever she is...

brightly, fists clenched in front of him: ] I'm sure if you're honest and sincere with her, Mr. Gale, she'll definitely come around!

The circumstances aren't exactly the issue, as it were. It is more my actions.

[ this is very protagonist advice, but he likes it. giving a small smile back at him. ]

I'm sure. It's excellent wisdom.

It's gotten me pretty far, at least.

[ being honest and sincere!!! it's what he does baby!!! ]

My little sister and I never really got into fights or anything, but I always made sure I apologized if I upset her or hurt her feelings on accident, you know...?

I cannot say I have the most studied history of effective apologies, but. Well. I am trying.

[ he rubs at his chest, over the mark there, as if it smarts for a moment. ]

You have a younger sibling?

If you're trying, that's what matters.

[ he says this very definitively. though! the subject change! for someone who is always pretty warm, rondo seems to brighten even further, and he nods. ]

I do. She... I haven't been able to see her in a long time, but she's very precious to me.

I'm sorry to hear that. I suppose I haven't seen my family for a time either. While you're on the road it certainly doesn't seem as if much time as passed, but somehow in a place such as this you feel further away than ever.

[ because there's no way to even consider turning back and going home. not that he could have before either. ]

...It's okay. It was my choice, after all.

[ absently, he reaches up and touches his heart. ]

But... I get what you mean. It's not every day people are in entirely different worlds, haha... [ especially worlds where they're supposed to be like, sacrificial cattle or whatever. ] What's your family like, Mr. Gale? Besides Tara!

[ he'd said all that so confidently and then realizes that he has to now share his side of it which is slightly more embarrassing. ]

Ah, well, my immediate family is really just myself, my mother, and dear Tara these days. She is as much family as anyone - I summoned her when I was eight, you know. My parents had denied me a kitten, and I decided that simply wouldn't do, so I summoned and bonded a familiar. Hah! She was perhaps a bit surprised, but we've got on quite well since then. Then again, she and my mother also get on a bit too well at times.

[ rondo is clearly listening to every word gale is saying so there's that!! he loves this kind of talk, and frankly, the "i wanted a kitten and my parents said no" thing is actually kind of relatable. though. he.. summoned... tara??

???? ]

Tara is... a familiar...? [ his mental picture of tara is changing rapidly by the second ]
