The confidence with which the actor proclaimed his certainty in the relationship with Tide brought a smile to the demon's face that reached his eyes, and it seemed it actually made him happy to ease Senecio's guilt, as his heart seemed lighter by it too.
" Speaking of incidents... would it be too personal if I asked you how you're doing after... the whole poisoning thing? " he asked, though he tried to look apologetic and neutral, his feelings reflecting genuine worry and protectiveness - and a strand of guilt, too. " You died.... or nearly died, I presume, by the looks of it, " he murmured, gazing at him with a deep inquisitive look. " Could you... tell me how you're doing to ease my heart in turn? If I didn't... indulge myself by taking my time to get gifts for everyone, and then got ill and had to stay in the capital for a few days, I could have made it before the premiere and smelled the poison, or in the worse case, even if you got poisoned none the less, I could have just kept taking its damage on my body continuously until the poison spent itself. It's a, Uhm, unpleasant, and bigger strain than taking on injury once, but my regeneration is insane so I am very good at absorbing most poisons, and whether in a few minutes an hour, poisons effects have to dissipate eventually, so it's only a matter of taking the damage upon me and waiting until it's spent, " he shook his head nonchalantly as if it was not rather a gruesome solution, but something perfectly practical. " I'm glad you were saved in the end, but it was so close, so I still feel pretty bitter for not being here in time... You smell relatively healthy right now, minus a couple of minor unrelated things, but knowing just how much healing others had to pour on you to make you return to this point weighs on me. Are you... really okay? "

Through Falcon's eyes flashed some calculations, as if he was weighing down all their options.
" Wouldn't it feel a little empty, though... that you're building your own base here on the island, and I and Melody would obviously come there with bias, while you put her base way over here? Will your heart really feel complete like that, just because we can't have a whole finished island in one day? " he asked carefully, with newfound determination. " How about this: we come back right now, and you have some fun with Melody, while I got to Sage and arrange the island thing? True, in the limited time we have, we definitely can't build a big house on the island, but we can build the island itself. Let's make it a larger island, with enough place for our bigger house on one side, and bigger orchards full of olives, apples, pears, and everything we like and have a small house or two in the orchard for your private time with Lipka, tree house for Melody time, and star gazing platform for our private time, and we're all good. Besides, if she likes picking her own trinkets, won't Lipka feel more fulfilled picking her own plants and trees to plant here, as we plan it out together? Now, and then after the break for the whale trip, I could stay up late organising it, so that by the early morning, the land could be ready, and you and Melody can but grow some nice grass upon it so it's not bare ground. What do you think... a big grass-covered island, big enough for all four of us... " he coughed, sounding just a little timid as he added. " And, if all with Lipka works out... We can go to sampling shops tomorrow, and buy all sorts of small trees and flowers, and plant them together... It should be fine if there's no pretty house or anything else yet, as long as she can pick the part of the island she likes the most and choose whatever she wants to grow on it, shouldn't it? "As you said... you wouldn't want to dump even a dream house on someone when you can have the joy of building it with them together on top, right? That's a super important lesson I learned just now from a very cute very wholesome guy... "
