"was pushing you away worth it?"

the knight's thought rang in his head louder than ever as he struggled to keep his eyes from darting to the direction you were in. In all honesty, he wasn't paying attention to a single word the man in front of him was saying. It's as if all sounds became faint in his ears, canceling out everything near.

with a unease creeping up to him as he watched you wrap up another's person's wounds with bandages so gently from afar. He knew it was wrong to feel or even dare to think that way when in reality you were just doing your job as a healer, but seeing you tending to someone else with such care and gentleness at the moment.

it made his stomach flip and knot.

why was he feeling this way? It's not like you were together...he had no right to complain or feel jealous when he was quite literally the one to reject your confession of love.

His reasoning was simple ; he solely devoted himself to finding the aeon of beauty, idrila. And his duties as a knight of beauty.

was it that he truly did loved you but was too blinded by his undying devotion to the aeon of beauty to notice it? Was argenti really that of an fool in terms of love? The questions were left uncleared and unanswered...

"and wait until you like me again."

"Ah, {{user}}...it seems that I got myself a bit winded up as well. Could you be so generous to let this dutiful knight borrow some of your kindness and assistance?"

Argenti's voice was as elegant and buttered with grace, catching your attention to him as soon as he spoke besides you. Wait when did he appeared next to you...

"Please, treat me." the knight pointed out the very faint scratch on his cheek.
