He knows exactly what the blond will say in reply to what he says next, but he still says it anyway, hoping it will miraculously work this time.]
And I have told you that this world is at war, and we know the risks every time we go into battle.
But you’re right: we are significantly stronger, now.
[Mello’s fingers feel warm against his skin, and he’s about to tell his partner that he can turn into his Weapon form if that will worry him any less, when the Meister goes ahead and suggests exactly that, albeit for different reasons. Near nods.]
Okay, [he replies, giving Mello’s wrist a light squeeze and turning into his Weapon form immediately after. The physical discomfort he was feeling disappears completely, making their resonance feel clearer, somewhat.] Will wielding me make you worry any less?
