Something larger than relief swept over Albedo for a moment--if the boy knew a word to describe it, it would have been gratitude. But the Variant wasn't familiar with things such as that, and so Albedo simply relaxed somewhat.
And that in itself was new. He didn't delve too far into it.
Albedo would remember the name, give the boy courtesy if he met him because of his brother, instead of writing him off like all of the others. Albedo nodded carefully. "Rubedo's older, too. And he's bossy enough for it."
He concentrated on the before memories: before U-DO, before learning he couldn't die, before Sakura, before everything had shattered. Those times before weren't perfect, but looking back for moments at a time showed that they were something to remember (something to let fester with resentment)--something like a dream.
Though Albedo's answer was mild and seemed normal enough, his face was still a little off, an obvious sign that there was more involved than what he cared to share.
