"'Tis the utmost pleasure to have met you, Kaoru. Your brother, he cares much of you as I've seen from his actions." Larsa gently smiled, though tilted his head when the redhead seemed to have grown even more troubled by something. At first the child presumed it was for his brother, but that next question, layered thick with shame, was what caught his attention. And just like that the pieces fit together.
"Is that what troubles you...?" Taking one last glance at the group and the dying swarm, the young Lord knelt before Kaoru.
"The truth is we ought not call all battles our own. There will be times where me must stand back from our allies." Sometimes it was a painful task to just sit there helpless, as he himself experienced over a year ago. But even then he had to remain strong for those he supported.
"However, having faith in those you care for is hardly useless. And, though it was not an original intent, you kept me company as well." And with that Larsa's smile returned, standing up from his knelt position and wiped the dust off his pants. He then offered his hand out for Kaoru to help him off the floor.
"But there will be times where you stand to fight and protect your loved ones. For now we must not take for granted those who would do the same for us." Larsa gestured over to Honey and Gabranth, sighing in relief to know that they only suffered minor wounds.
