He sighed and stared down at his plate. Talking to his knight was still hard, and while he wanted to change that, he wasn't sure how to proceed when he didn't even know what they were to each other now. It had been easy to assume last night that they were simply bound to each other by their common goals and the vows between a prince and his knight, but when they kept falling into old habits and just barely avoiding old wounds, it was... much, much more difficult than he'd imagined. And then with people like Yuffie around--
"I will," he replied, forcing himself to make eye contact again. After all that had happened, it was the very least he could do.
There was a second or two's pause while considered saying more, but he soon (rather visibly) dismissed the matter and tried returning the conversation to its previous tone. "Until that happens, you'll have to content yourself with more traditional duties. I'm sure you're heartbroken."
