[It's easier not to feel guilty when he doesn't actually... meet his gaze. It doesn't mean he cares any less for Will it's just easier not to get overwhelmed. Especially when he asks about her and Cor is quiet for so very long, trying to find words to explain what she's like that doesn't sound like something from one of Gladiolus' romance novels.]
She's a lot like myself, really. Wiser than I could ever hope to be but generous and caring.
[The idea that she can recognize so much of what he wants or needs when he doesn't know himself. The faintest smiles when he thanks her for sharing her experiences with him. The way she calls him out and holds him accountable to things he hadn't even known he was improving.]
She has a great deal of powerful magic but she... is also a pillar of quiet peace. [So often a balm to his nerves when they are at their most frayed.
It's not something he can bring himself to say but the sentiment is there nonetheless.]
