A thrill of wonder blankets Seiji as Amalia speaks the goddess' name, as the soft light of miniature stars illuminates the tunnel. He cannot help but feel as if some ancient power answers Amalia's soft voice. As if it lingers here in the tunnel with them, calm and protective. He returns Jigano's smile with a grin, optimism spiking in his breast. Am auspicious start to what he hopes will be a successful outing.
Seiji remains silent as Amalia suggests splitting their small party. Despite his optimism, he worries about testing their luck too far. Worry dims the light of his excitement, a shadow in the soft darkness od his eyes. But he does not speak agaonst the idea, merely nods when Jigano agrees. They both know more than he does. He will respect that.
He does extend a hand when Jigano offers the enchanted light, his expression curious. "Yes." Seiji nods. "Thank you." He feels a little better with the bird's light enhancing the glow of the stars, and nods as well when Lily speaks. It seems his path is set.
"Be careful," Seiji calls to the others. "We should plan to meet back here if… Just in case." His concern for his new friends is palpable, not doubt in their abilities or the goodwill of their goddess but concern about what the darkness here may hide after the horrors of Long Night.
Turning to the path ahead, Seiji extends an elbow toward Lily and holds the Sparklight out ahead of them. "Let's go," he smiles, his doubt replaced by a quiet resolve. He will have faith, though he cannot trust it blindly. If Amalia's goddess guides her, she must guide him as well.{/b}{/b}
