You do seem a bit a high strung, especially compared to when I first met you.
[He folded his hands, smiling at the mention of his friend.]
Kevin has been by my side for a long time. It has not always been easy, but I made a promise to believe in him and he has chosen to stay by my side despite it all. He is, well special to me. More so than anyone else.
[There was possibly one other person who came close to that level, but well, that wasn't something William was ready to contemplate.]
Eh, it's not like I can really hide it. Just being upfront about it is for the best in these circumstances.
[That way his running away will be the norm and any deviations from it are going to be him being brave, rather than the other way around.]
Five years? That a lot! [He makes an impressed noise, laughter peeling from his lips. The servant part is as bit .... though.] I only know Yuma since a couple of weeks and it feels like two lifetimes already. Five years - you must be like family!
[The question is asked lightly with a gentle note and a smile that would befit a pacifist king before Vector shakes his head.]
And I agree. But ours... I thought it had become like that, but it didn't. I might be to blame for just expecting too much, but I am still happy to see that it really exists. You two should hold on to that bond like to a real treasure!
Like when things are happening here? [He nods, acknowledging William's point.] I really don't like how it's so often forced on us.
[Dropping the subject of his relationship with Yuma*, he gives the other a brilliant smile that hides any other emotions.
(*It's a thing he could easily rant a week nonstop over and still not be done, and that's when he isn't projecting his frustrations at the ones who are running this place and toying with their lives onto it as well.)]
That's the spirit! Well, I think that it'll be for the best if I get going again.

[He smiles sheepishly before nodding along more eager.]
So a real friend, then! Having him with you is real lucky for both of you, I'm sure! How long do you know each other so far?
no subject
[He sighed, both a bit embarrassed and happy.]
Friend, servant and brother even. We have known each other since I was...
[Oh that's right, not quite since childhood anymore.]
...well about five years I believe it is. I met him on the day we buried Mother and Father. He has been with me ever since.

[It wasn't something he was proud of, but it was a legitimate strategy.]
Some relationships are like that though. It's not the length of time, but the moments that make up that period that matter.

[And he couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance.]
...I see. Then I do not know what more to say other than that it is a problem you will have to work out in your own time
Heh, I am holding onto him come hell or heaven, demons or angels.
[Is he being literal to a cheesy extent? Perhaps.]

[No perhaps about it. If he had the chance, William would force things to change in this place. Somehow, someway.]
Oh yes. Thank you again for the cake. It was very delicious.
[He rose to show him the door, filled with good cheer. It had been a good conversation.]
