... is it an imaginary color? [ blinking, he stares at the weird color that somehow formed by the combination of conflicting feelings and taps his chin in thought. ] I just... wanted to try my best, that's all.
[ but he does feel drained, having done so, to the point where he has to put his hands down on something--- or someone, as he uses Yuuri's shoulder as a place to lean against. ]
I think it's pretty nice. It's almost like my scarf, right?
[ indeed, that strip between the pale yellow is probably closer to that blue? maybe? look, what is he, some kind of color specialist? he's... trying! ]
... we've almost made the full thing together, haven't we? That's kind of neat.
[ too bad it doesn't feel that much of an accomplishment. ]
Oh no—it's a real color but just that people call it by a different name most of the time.
[ Normally he'd feel a little out of place with the physical contact but he was slowly getting better with that sort of thing and gives Kaden a small smile as he talks about the color and his scarf. There's a quiet hum of acknowledgement. ]
You did a good job, Kaden. [ He pats him on the head gently. ] And yeah, we only have one more color left—violet.
[ And that's an easy enough color for him to think of because it's a color that also vaguely reminds him of Viktor. His Stammi Vicino was more of a magenta color, sure, but the color was still complimentary to him. ]
[ both ears splay, the smallest of smiles forming on his face. weak, but present: he feels encouraged not by the touch, but by Yuuri's mere presence. he doesn't have to talk about the reasons or the people that caused these colors to light in front of them, but the fact he could do it resonates with him. ]
One more... ah, that's a good one.
[ at least he knows what violet is, and seeing Yuuri's violet is comforting. it's warm and it reminds him of feelings that he could understand. funny, how though they come from very different worlds, that emotions can still have the same meaning from different experiences? ]
... you're a good human, Yuuri. I wish there were more like you.
[ With a little toss, Yuuri completes the rainbow and there's a little fanfare that pops up around the completed flame rainbow celebrating their victory. Cute. ]
Th, thanks Kaden. [ Yuuri doesn't agree with Kaden's assessment of him but at the same time he has no reason to refute him either. There definitely should be plenty of people who weren't like Yuuri, as far as he was concerned. ] I don't know many other foxes like you but I'm sure you're a step above the others too.
[ Given how the lore of kitsune could go either way with inari vs yako, Yuuri was going to write off Kaden as one that wasn't going to pull the wool over his eyes any time soon. If anything, he was the one who did that. ]
[ the fanfare isn't comforting, but seeing their combined efforts brings him relief. mostly that it's over, and partly because it would've been truly difficult to get through it by himself.
he might've learned a lesson or two. ]
Just know that, if there's anything you ever need... you can come to me for help, okay?
[ he won't speak of the slight loneliness he feels, even though he has someone to lean on. being part of an army for so long, it's weird to only have one or two others around from his world. ]
[ Yuuri doesn't think that he's done anything spectacular or deserving this kind of loyalty but he wasn't going to immediately shoot it down or say any of that. He'll just accept it for now and offer his own counter. ]
That goes for me too—I'm not sure how helpful I could be, but if there's anything that you think I could help with, I'd be more than willing to try.
[ As long as it isn't killing people...then again, when would anyone need to kill another person in Empath? ]

LMFAO!! they did die, you just missed the memo

I bet you'd be good at petting and brushing. After all, it looked like you took good care of that brown dog!
[ or at least, it might've been a combined effort? and not just in the looks, but how happy it seemed. ]
But don't worry. Either way, I'll be happy to put my faith in you and your efforts as long as you do it for me.
[ looking back at the rings, he tries to smile. still weak, but he's trying. ]
