It really does, and the laugh that escapes him this time is a little more genuine as he shifts enough so that he can keep rubbing her back even in this new position. "Put the two of us together and we could almost manage a vaguely normal life between us. ... or maybe that's being a bit too optimistic."

What a pair they make indeed.

"Or at least redefine what 'normal' is supposed to look like," she sighs and hums softly as Gai rubs her back and calms her down. The angry tears that threatened to open subside, and she can eventually move her arms and run her fingers over Gai's shoulder.

"I'm glad I told you, it was weighing on me."

"I'm glad you told me too," he says, just keeping up that gentle massaging. As terrible a thing as it is to hear, the knowledge itself renewed his determination to protect what the two of them have here in Luceti. "Now we're both even."

That's the worst of their secrets out in the open, he supposes. The rest of what he hasn't told her is just details about what he's been through, nothing drastic. And, honestly, if she never wants to know, he's fine with that too.

"I didn't want to make us even. I just didn't want to keep anything from you."

She pulls herself up so she can kiss Gai again. It's less urgent and passionate, but after that revelation she doesn't want to cheapen what they've trusted each other with. Somehow, demanding anything shallow is absolutely impossible right now.

The kiss Gai gives her in return is warm, loving, and most of all relieved-- possibly a strange emotion to be feeling after that revelation, but there is decided relief in knowing that there's nothing left that's hidden from each other. This is, right now, the most honest he's ever been with her or anyone else. He's bared his soul to her and she to him and nothing has changed because of it.

He hadn't been 100% sure that he really knew what love was before. But now... now he does.
