[ A thumb gently brushes over his knuckles at that sigh. Gentle squeeze. ]
..Even if we're prepared for it, it'll never get easier. [ A moment of hesitation, as if thinking really hard on the right thing to say here. ] But.. we'll have all the.. good.. happy memories to remember them for.
[ Siffrin had meant to comfort Yves, but before they realize it the words blurt out. Wincing when they do. It's probably because Yves loves without fear. Despite everything. And they can't help wanting to understand him more.
[ and he smiles down at siffrin without fear, giving siffrin's hand a squeeze ]
I had this conversation with Adolphe, because he apologized for making me miss him. He'd been dead for four years even before we got here. He must've felt bad for how lonely I was... and I really was.
So I pinched his cheeks! [ the smile turns a little gremlin, before turning so fond ] But I told him... it's okay. I missed him the most because in life, together, I loved him so dearly.
And I'd never choose to love him any less, even if it breaks my heart every time I lose him.
[ Watching the way Yves smiles at them, the way his expression brightens at the mention of Adolphe, twists a little with tease before something fond.
It's very bright. Like looking at the sun almost directly. Their heart stutters a little, turning their gaze back to their hands for something else to look at lest their chest tightens any further. ]
..You're a lot stronger than a lot of us. [ Stronger than them. ] But.. when you put it like that, I think I understand.

... that's true. I'm glad that we grow close. I wouldn't really choose otherwise.
Isn't the reason we all miss people because we adore their presence so dearly?
no subject
..I think so. You.. get used to their company. Their voice. [ The contact. The feelings. ] So it hurts all the more when you lose them.
no subject
... I'd take the hurt even so.
I always would. I never want to give someone a reason to think that I'm afraid to love them, just because I might lose them.

Their hand fidgets in his own. ] Sorry.
