HIS ATTENTIVENESS WAS severely lacking after his long training session, so the appearance of the WHITE MAGE startled him, much more than he would have LIKED. . .Still, he couldn’t deny her BEAUTY, both internally and externally, so he always tried to make time for her, however difficult it was for him to convey his LOVE for her, let alone ANY EMOTIONS at all, which he chose to keep CONCEALED in his heart lest his jealousy of Cecil be laid bare for all to see. He so hated being a THIRD WHEEL, having to subside his true emotions in order to retain the only friends he had in this world, the only FAMILY, apart from his corps, that he’d known after the death of his FATHER, yet he knew that he couldn’t force her to look at him the way she looked at CECIL. . .THAT was the largest pain of all. Maybe, in the future, he’d find LOVE of his own, have a family, have CHILDREN. . .Still, he was but 21, and not only would those events happen A LONG TIME into the future, but there was ROSA, who required his attention.
❝R-ROSA! Do you need me for something?❞
