It is no waste. [Said firmly, before gentling.] In time, you shall see so.
[He sounds certain of that fact. And he is. He will convince Lahabrea eventually of how deserving the older man is of love, regardless of his age. If anything the many years he spent without make him even more deserving of it - and Themis has nothing if not time and love to spare. After everything, they both deserve this.
A moment to enjoy this intimate closeness, before he smiles at the mention of trust.]
Your blessings are welcome - though know that I would have been willing to perform any great feat to earn them. That you give them freely warms me from within.
[Though he chuckles now, a rich sound, fond.]
What expectations I could have had have been long since surpassed. Maintained. You have set aflame your forge within my heart, Hephaistos, it will take much and more for such a thing to be snuffed out. An impossibility as long as I exist, in fact.
