[Ah, yes. It's good to see that, for all her character development, Peko is still kind of shit at reading him. Something like that might be too much development for one person alone. Seriously though, how did she get "angry" out of that? Come on, now...]
[Kuzuryuu makes a choked sort of hiccuping noise in response. If Peko were to look up at him again, she'd notice that he's clearly trying very hard not to start openly bawling again. It's not really working out for him so well. He scrubs at his eyes, pushing his eyepatch awkwardly up a little but to get at the right one. That eye may be damaged to the point where it's blind, but since the tear ducts weren't damaged, he can apparently still cry out of it just fine. Lucky him. Though, between the patch and his hand, Peko won't be able to see much about that eye. Assuming she's still curious about what the hell happened to it.]
[There are a few sniffles and more weird half-choked hiccuping noises from Kuzuryuu as he nods firmly. Oddly enough though he...seems to be smiling? Apparently this is happy crying. Lord what are his emotions right now, not even he knows. They are all over the place and he just wants to pass out and sleep for like a week at this point. Because surely that would stabilize everything he's feeling emotions-wise now.]
[After a few minutes, he manages to regain his composure enough to pull his eyepatch back into place and actually look at Peko. His face is still kinda wet and a little snotty though, gross.]
Not as honored as I'd be to let that happen. [And by honored, he means happy. TWO CAN PLAY AT THAT GAME, PEKO. He laughs weakly.] Little late to be asking it at this point but... I'm not dreamin' right now or something, right? This is all actually happening. You're...
[Alive? Finally dropping the tool thing? Both? Probably both.]
