Rex melted inside. So many things he never told her in these last few quickly moving days. Unable to pull his eyes from hers, he felt his start to fill, before blinking them away, shaking his head. This rapid aging seemed to be messing with his emotions. He was losing control, nearly entirely.<br/>Refocusing on her eyes, seeing that glimmer of cheekiness, he grinned suddenly. If these are my last days, he thought, at least they will be my best, spent with my favorite person and best friend. Lifting Aoi's hands, he kissed each one, "Thank you Aoi... I hope to know this stubborn princess for a long time still, for many years." He trusted her healing powers and knew she was knowledgeable in her craft, but somehow this sudden aging had turned him pessimistic inside. But he didn't show it.<br/>He sat, suddenly very happy, enjoying the feel of Aoi's small soft hands holding his own.
