"heh.. good distraction till we were crushed to death.. fair enough." There was a thought that nearly came all too true. He really did cut that rune close. Though at the moment any distraction would be welcome. Not to be the one to think ill of situations, but they had no idea how bad the cave in was. Let alone how long they were going to be here, days they could do. so long as they had water and air at least.

Though he looked at Mizuki when he asked if that was the only reason he said what he did. Though he didn't get to answer that question as Mizuki spoke again before standing. As he walked past and towards the pool of water Thal sighed a little. Did he really have to explain this now?

He waited a moment watching the other before noticing something else seemed to be on his mind as Mizuki's ears dropped a little. Walking over to the other noticed the side that Mizuki seemed to be looking at in the waters reflection. Right him...They never did find that bastard. revenge wasn't even close to the word he wanted to use if he ever saw him.

Though he had more than just personal reasons now to want that guy's head on a pike. At first it was payback for that scar on his face as well as the others. But now he felt like he had to get back at the man for nearly killing Mizuki. Even before they had admitted feelings at that time... He had his answer for Mizuki.

"No I didn't just say it because I ave doubts of us making it out of here.." He sighed a little before speaking again. "I meant what I said, I had spent most of the years pushing thoughts of you aside and saying they didn't matter and that nothing would come of it. Nearly losing you the first time made me notice I still cared, even if i pushed you away I did it because I didn't know how to handle still caring about you."

Shaking his head a little he knew how childish that sounded but it was the truth. Though Mizuki seemed to still be looking at the pool of water as Thal made him face him. "I do love you, you don't have to believe me but damn it I said it anyway. If we make it out of here I'll still say it." He never once was really mad at Mizuki for anything, even nearly getting them killed. He couldn't be no matte how he tried.
