Mwamba (Xenoblade Chronicles 3)/Bolearis (Xenoblade Chronicles 3)

Mwamba (Xenoblade Chronicles 3), Bolearis (Xenoblade Chronicles 3)

Drabble, Inspired by Music, Source: Genesis, Source: Peter Gabriel

Despite the voice in his head warning not to buy into all this new City snuff (they say "crap", don't they? sort of rough-sounding...), the one telling him to speak up is stronger.

"I...really like you, Bolearis."

Sure, he answers himself, everybody does. He's like...a real guy's guy.

The guy's guy answers by blinking slowly, face suddenly very soft, obviously trying to compose himself.

Bolearis's knowledge of City know-how is relatively more limited, but if he's gauging his own reaction properly (he's had to do it a lot, since shouldering additional responsibility), he probably really likes Mwamba too.
