In the end, things would most definitely be worth it. But the track that they all had to take to get to that end result was so tiring. Everyone was tired and had been for so many weeks because of the war and all its effects. Starting over on what they'd already had...it was exhausting, to say the least. Still, Sensei was glad that Carrion's future was looking up.

He kept looking at that face that he knew so well by now...those lips, those eyes, everything. Sensei wanted so badly to just have things like they had been, when he and Blaze could just be close. The lack of company, physical or no, had only made him miss the other boy more. Ever since St. Patrick's day, things had taken a turn for the worse. And while he'd been mad then, the time to think had gotten him over things. He would have gladly forgiven Blaze, but the distance and lack of communication between them had made that impossible. It was difficult to bear. Especially considering that they'd spoken more when they'd actually fought in the past. Arguing was better than silence.

The mention of his sister had him thinking again. Hopefully she would be found soon, or he would likely have no idea what to do. It made him sigh softly before he looked back over at Blaze. "Yeah, we do." There were definitely things for them to talk about.

Of course Sensei still had feelings for Blaze. He hadn't been able to shake those feelings ever since the first day he'd ever seen him. They certainly weren't going to change now. If anything, they'd evolved and changed to something more than just a simple attraction. And they had survived his being hurt and disappointed.

Sensei looked down a moment after hearing Blaze's words. But then he looked right back up into Blaze's eyes. "I missed you too...it's been so different. I don't like it." And he meant that. "There's a distance between us that shouldn't be there..."
