Fakir bit back the sudden flare of anger he felt at being ignored and stepped into the room, closing the door behind him. He watched Mytho for several moments,a slight frown on his lips.

"Please don't ignore me, now, when I have so much to say to you," he finally said.

[insourarmor]

That caught Fakir off guard. His brows knitted up in confusion and concern, and he shook his head. "No," he said emphatically, moving to stand beside the bed. "No, I'm not angry."

"Especially after that," Fakir said as he seated himself beside Mytho on the bed. Gon, annoyed at having been displace, rolled about on the floor and idly batter at the loose cuffs of Mytho's pants. "Knowing what you feel, how you suffer, I feel pain for you. I'm not angry."

[insourarmor]

"In spite of that, yes," Fakir said as he watched Gon bask in Mytho's attention. "Although... I want to hear, from you, why you did it."

[insourarmor]

"But you weren't," Fakir said, making clear what Mytho had implied. He frowned, thoughtful for a moment, before turning to the prince. "Mytho, that wasn't what I wanted." He reached for Mytho's hand, hesitated, and touched his shoulder instead. "I don't need someone's entire heart to be happy. If you don't return my feelings, I can cope with that, but there's no need to take them away of displace them."

"It is," Fakir agreed. His expression turned more curious, the frown straightening out somewhat. "Is it... a feeling that you're familiar with?"

For a long moment, all Fakir could manage to do was look over at Mytho in stunned disbelief. He realized quickly that this reaction couldn't possibly be helpful, and moved Mytho's hand gently from his face. "Idiot. Why would you even think that? It isn't the blood, it's a normal feeling. Jealousy, regret, the desire to be loved, they're all feelings that everyone has. That you feel them doesn't make you a horrible person, it makes you real."

[insourarmor]

"Jealousy alone is not to blame," Fakir said firmly, lightly squeezing Mytho's hand. "Sometimes people need more than you can give them, want more than you have. It isn't your failing. And your happiness matters as well."
