That gets a laugh from Ryo - barely more than a quiet huff, but nonetheless. Even across worlds, warriors are warriors, and this is what he gets for befriending them. You can never ask them not to get hurt, because they will get hurt - all you can ask is that they make good decisions. He misses Orion, but at the same time, he's incredible grateful to Otoha for just being here. "Okay," he says with a smile, "as long as you're trying."
He doesn't move. Feeling safe like this is a rarity for him, and he doesn't want to break the hug just yet.
