[There is so much Luvander is so very bad at saying, too, despite his constant prattling and his penchant for melodrama. Words of honest thanks, for instance, and appreciation for the way Natsuno is obviously looking out for him. Maybe it's just as well, since it would probably just make them both feel awkward and embarrassed, but he still felt like he owed him as much.]

There's nothing wrong with being a little bit damaged. [He says the words mildly enough, but they really do mean something, for both of them. Luvander is hardly a psychologist, and Natsuno doesn't do the whole sharing thing, but it's not like Luvander can't tell that Natsuno is not like the average careless teenager either. He doesn't talk about his past, and he has a far harsher outlook on life than people in general. Luvander has seen that sort of thing before.]

There are some things... well, they should damage you a bit, or there's probably something far worse wrong with you. [He scratches at his throat, smiling faintly.] Anyway, it's good for reminding you that you're still alive, right?
