[Back then he had appreciated Cyno's quiet intelligence. His unintrusive manner. How he never expected anything of Tighnari in the way that other researchers often did. It was no surprise to him when they became friends, though he could never have expected the depth of the friendship.
Sometimes he does miss those old days when they would sit across from one another in the House of Daena, silent and deep in their studies. A time in his life that Tighnari simply can't go back to no matter how many times Akademiya representatives turn up to bay at his door.
He took many valuable things from his time there but few things are more valuable to him than this friendship.]
Yes, yes... [Tighnari would have done that. He shifts when Cyno does, turning onto his side and setting his head down on the pillow. His tail is still softly thudding against the mattress.] I understand why you had to do it, and why you couldn't tell me what was happening. [Cyno's hair looks like moonlight. He draws a lock of it forwards and plays with it.]
It would have been a conflict of interest for me to know, on so many different levels. I don't blame you.
