[Somehow, the shocked and horrified reaction on Glitch's end was worse than any chiding. If he got scolded, at least Syaoran knew he could argue against it... but to see the other boy rendered speechless by his actions made him feel guilty in ways he couldn't explain. He hadn't thought too much about nicking his fingers to get the blood he needed, as he'd done so plenty times by accident with his sword, but... just because it didn't bother him didn't mean it couldn't bother others. The idea that someone might actually be shaken by this wasn't something he had stopped to consider.

His shoulders slump as Glitch speaks, his face a mix of guilt and a bit of stubbornness. The fact he wasn't talking down to him or trying to dissuade him against it was a plus, but even so...]

I know I shouldn't have to, or shouldn't need to, but... I want to. If I have something at my disposal here that can help others, I want to use it however I can. I don't mind dealing with a cut or two if it means everyone else doesn't have to suffer worse.

[There's almost something bittersweet that enters his eyes then, as he continues:]

Besides... I'd rather be here so I can look after someone important to me, then have her suffer all alone in this place. So I honestly don't mind it.

[Well... that's not entirely true-- there's plenty about this place that he hates, but he'll take it if it means Sakura doesn't have to deal with it on her own.]

... thank you, though. [He's quiet for a moment, and then:] It might not mean much, but... I'm here if you need anything, either.

[Of course, he's younger and less experienced around hardships compared to Glitch, so advice might be off the table, but he'd be there if the other boy needed it, be it with supplies or an extra fighting hand.]

[ This whole situation seems messed to him. A kid feeling like they need to do something this drastic to protect someone. Despite Deerington have a handful of positives Glitch still can't help but hate what this place makes people, children do. It's a lot to put on someone's shoulders and Glitch knows that. He carried so many burdens at home. ]

Yeah. I get you, Li. Trust me. When I was your age I did plenty of things to keep the few people I cared about from suffering the least.

[ Even though Syaoran offered him something of a shoulder Glitch is hesitant to take it. If only because Glitch can't help but scream on the inside that it isn't fair to make a kid do this. But, what good would it do to disparage Syaroan's efforts? Nothing. Just a lot of hurt feelings. At least if he took it he could at least make sure the other boy didn't do anything foolhardy. ]

Yeah. If something comes up I'll be sure to come to you. We gotta make up for what we lack after all, right? And I'm probably gonna need a little badass by my side this month.

[ Still he pauses and shifts the conversation slightly; ]

So, this girl is a friend of yours and in town? Who is she? Maybe I can help out a bit.
