But would you hear me {Aki}

Another sigh left his lips, though this one was slightly less exasperated than it would've been moments before. Life was precious, that was one thing he was certain of, and to envision such a young man wanting to give his away? It did not settle well in his mind. Curious gaze watched the stranger still, his mood shifting from angry to something much less emotional -- though he was far from friendly still. He knew he could not leave him, not until he was slightly less aggravated; even if he had things he would rather be doing.

The boy did not fight when he told him he would. He wouldn't stick around unless he was needed, and it was certain that this unstable creature needed someone at his side right now, even if it was a complete stranger. Did he catch a slight wave of relief wash over his gentle face? He found his brows furrowing again. "No, you can't," he reminded him with the faintest grin flashing momentarily across his features. He was larger than Kyung, and likely stronger as well; and he knew his tusks could be intimidating... though he was willing to bet that the boy wouldn't consider diving off of a cliff again quite so soon after he'd saved him from death.

He was grateful that he got a name out of him, at least. "And I am Áki." If Kyung needed him for anything, he could certainly call for him... and as for how close he wanted to be to the tusked brute, Áki hadn't the faintest clue. But for now, they really ought to get away from this cliff. "Come," he instructed him simply, turning to jerk his head to the side, away from the cliffside. "We need to be here no longer."
