[Takatora listens, even though he doesn't know what to say. He gives Mitsuzane's body one last, firm hug before releasing him, though the touch doesn't feel anything like it might have when they were younger. It's as though all of the affection has been taken out of the action and he's doing it more out of obligation than anything else.
Now that the two are apart, Sylveon whines softly and pads back to Takatora, lightly pawing at his leg to be picked back up. He can tell his trainer is still very sad and wants to help him, somehow.]
Do you feel it's helped you, being here?
[Takatora doesn't look down at Sylveon, but he does put one hand back down to his side, which Sylveon gratefully accepts by wrapping one of his feelers around it and pressing his body against Takatora's leg.]
