[ What Kai's saying causes a lot of thoughts to rise in Dash's mind. Where he had been momentarily watching with a certain, growing happiness at Kai's reaction to him wearing the ring, then Kai putting his own ring on his finger, he now feels like his brain's filling with thoughts faster than he can keep up. They're going to start pouring out of his head any moment. ]
You can ask! Of course you can ask. [ He offers a reassuring smile. ] I'm just realizing though... I mean, I didn't know who I was until recently. So I may not be able to answer all your questions. You might know more about who I am than I do.
My mother's a goddess. She used to rule over the godly realm. [ He shrugs helplessly, like he's saying 'no biggie.' He really doesn't know how else to handle delivering that piece of info, to be honest. ]
Are you- is this going to be hard on you? I'll do anything I can to help. [ He scoots a little closer to Kai, perhaps without even realizing he's done so. ] Oh, and can you tell me more about this bond? [ The words don't sound uneasy, but they don't have the same note of curiosity as before. Dash is treating this seriously. He holds out his hand for Kai to take, if he'd like. ] What does it involve?
When you say we can't be apart... [ Dash thinks he understands, even without feeling what it is Kai says he'll soon feel. He thinks he understands. But it would be good to have that confirmation, he thinks. Just to be sure they're both on the same page.
It sounds like they'll need to be there as much as possible, as long as possible. The way Kai talks, their chance encounter may've been even more significant than Dash could've realized. ] I'm sorry for all the questions. I want to do the right thing though, I really do.
