... you needn't make any offer in specific. At times, it is not even what you can tangibly provide for people that might save them, or ease their heart.
...I often find myself wondering what happens, then, if I cannot even offer those when people are in most need of them. But I think those are questions for me to ponder on my own rather than burden guests with them.
Perhaps it is. There are some things that the heart needs to resolve on its own.
... in the same breath, I too can only offer you company and sincerity. And so if it is something that you would like to speak into the space between us, to free it from the confines of your chest so that another might hear - I am available for that too.
[it does help. in its own way. it helps, and even if there isn't much they can do with it, they bow their head in a show of gratitude.]
You have my thanks, Mikazuki-san. I'm unsure if I will ever be able to speak of these things but...[...they seem to just...think. and change their mind.] I appreciate the offer a lot. Maybe someday I'll take you up on it.
Cetus. Orion. Lepus. Virgo. I think the rest of us are managing decently, but the personalities of the four of them...may not be immediately comforting to guests. Whether they're abrasive or simply neutral.
I am not as surprised as I should be, I think. [jiji.] I'm not sure they would agree with you. But yes. We are. But guests will always gravitate to certain staff members over others.

One's presence and sincerity can be enough.

You need not rush, nor push yourself. I am an old man, after all... and so the offer has no such expiration.
I shall always make myself available to you, whenever and wherever you might need me. That is my own duty, and my joy.
no subject
A favor, if you will. [they consider how to phrase this.] You've extended such an offer to the other members of the staff, I presume?
no subject
[but he'll leave it at that. he understands what gemini is getting at.]
Mm. As much as I am able, to those I have spoken to.

Who would you name as those you are most concerned over? I am curious to hear it from your perspective as well.

But I am awfully fond of the others. You do not have to worry about whether or not they remain in my care.
no subject
...but I'm happy to hear that. So long as they're acknowledged as part of this staff, I'm satisfied.

Acknowledged as part of this staff... I would be surprised should any neglect to include them. You are all coworkers, are you not?

Was that not the case for you and Sol?

Maybe that's true, but I still think my point stands. [...] You truly cared for him, didn't you?
