[He rests his head against Vanilla's, eyes closing and taking in strength from his words. He does not know if Lily has had a similar conversation with him yet- not since the one they were both there for. He knows she is not one to not speak her thoughts when she found them important.
But also the two mages are... painfully similar. He lost them both that long ago day. He could not bear it again.]
But do not forget you are mine as well. My Resolution stands as long as I have something. Someone. To protect and fight for. I beg you, do not break my heart, Vanilla.
I will never break your heart, my love. I promise.
[ Though he's unsure of how strong he can be for Cacao now, the Resolution on his finger that pulses with a beat that matches Cacao's heart helps bolster the idea that he can. It emboldens him, helps him make a decision.
His voice is soft, for Cacao only. ]
I have given all I can give to this world. For you, for Lily, I shall give no more. What is of me as I am now is entirely yours. I vow this, my heart. My world.
[ The noise breaks his heart. How long has Cacao been needing to hear that? He shifts his arms to hold Cacao down to him tighter, soothing his hands over the braid, and turning to kiss his ear gently. ]
