[pinches his cheek some more, like she's TESTING SOMETHING, before she finally withdraws her hand. his surprise doesn't go unnoticed, but. . .]
But I wonder what that makes you the Great Spirit of?
[he's expressing said surprise at a being who made herself the Lord of Spirits because that is what she wanted to be. she doesn't seem bothered or even fazed at the idea of his wish causing him to show up in Rieze Maxia as one]
[he couldn't even know what she was trying to test... aside from maybe his pain tolerance to pinching, which may be higher than expected.]
I... have no idea. Kind of new to this spirit business, so I'm not even sure where to start.
[it's probably light, since does aska even exist in the prime dimension? who knows, but there's no sign of him, luna, rem or gilione (why are there so many major light deities in tales?), it's probably his closest element... as the king of light, or whatever.
That so... and here I thought something like that would be a pretty big deal.
[it's kind of a big deal to him, but honestly? he's still pretty tired (mentally) from everything he's been through. it's pretty hard to be that incredulous about things after making a noble sacrifice to save the world.
but apparently, not too tired to still be a little sarcastic—teasing smile on his lips as he leans into her touch. he's fine with all of this, honestly.]
It can be, in some ways. But in others, it isn't at all.
[how does she explain this. . .]
Take the Four, for instance. It doesn't necessarily matter who the Four Great Spirits are, as long as there are four of them. When they die, four others will eventually take their place.
[her hands drop from his cheeks to his shoulders, then down his arms, and then to his hands. her fingers twine with his again]
But for someone who never expected this, then I can see how it would be. . . "a big deal."
[to that, he can nod in understanding—it's different than anything he knows, but it's not particularly difficult to understand.]
Can't argue that. Definitely wasn't expecting this to end in me being one of these... Great Spirits at all.
[but it's a responsibility he can accept. ten years ago, that would have been a difficult thing to accept, but here and now? it's much easier for him. just like it's easy to claps her hands and lace their fingers together, and how easy it is for him to smile at her this way—it's pretty easy for noctis to accept this responsibility, even if it's something entirely new for him.]
It is what it is, though. Not gonna say I have any complaints about it, either.

[LIGHT WOULD WORK ASKA PROBABLY WOULDN'T. . . MIND??? aska in the fractured dimensions is dead by now anyway lbr]
[but she laughs and disentangles her fingers from his so she can bring up both hands to cup his cheeks]
It isn't something you have to decide right now. You have time to think about it. There's no rush.
[oh Milla, acting like becoming a Great Spirit is no big deal, no big deal at all]
