[ The Dioscuri truly are kind. They're kinder than they need to be, to the point where it agitates him a touch to think on how few appreciate that. They're no different than that girl, that boy - misunderstood and unappreciated despite how earnest they are. But Hiyori can appreciate that kindness, and he smiles and shakes his head in response. ]
... You're right. Please forgive my cynicism. The world is brighter for children who have such talent, and I shouldn't think the worst will occur for my absence.
[ There's no use in lamentations, and idleness truly is the enemy of man. There's too much time to think and act, and Hiyori can't say he's fond of it. Pollux's belief in humanity to pick itself up and move on is the air that flows into a stagnant room once a window is open, clearing out the suffocating and trapped feeling that grows when one stays in for too long. However much he worries and fusses about work undone, he can't erase the efforts applied by those he had worked with, nor will he downplay the effect he had on their lives. ]
You speak from experience, don't you? I'm certain that you and your brother must have touched many lives over time, even those who might not recognize all that you've done for them... You truly are admirable.

she laughs gently though. )
But this isn't about us, this is about those we can help guide and influence.
( that's why hiyori's assistance for the one individual is readily accepted, and wanted along with adored. there's only so many people who would be willing to slot themselves as a role model for another person who could benefit from it; too much pressure. luckily hiyori doesn't seem like the type. )
There's so much to do, I wouldn't know what to do first! Should we start with pumpkins? Candy apples? Hehe, something nice for Fio, I really want to see her smile.
