[It's kids like Ib that celebrations like this one are made for, and he's not one to deny them the joys of a childhood he didn't really have. It just so happens he's back in Aqures for a few days on this occasion and upon coming across her has been jarred a little by how long it has been since he last saw the small heroine.]
Not really. [His smile lingers for longer and in general he seems a lot lighter in mood than the last time Ib saw him; when he'd been so melancholy in front of the Crystal of Fire. Never mind the fact that his eyes are just brighter in general now.]
You needn't worry about any competition from me. Enjoying the holiday?
