[It's way too late to not let anyone get close, it was even before Ashure showed them everything. Fai had tried to keep them all at an arm's length and essentially failed.
Kurogane had nearly always seen through the act Fai put on, the fake smiles and cheery disposition. Sometimes it was exactly Fai - sometimes he didn't always feel the weight of his burden and hide it with his playful behavior. Ever since the events at Celes, Fai was more true to himself. When he was happy he smiled and when he wasn't, he didn't.
That was how Kurogane liked things. Even if they were short two people they could still have moments where everything was fine and they were capable of enjoying the moment. All they had to do was get over the rough patches. He was sure there would probably be more in the future too but life went on.
Even as Fai said it, several of those natives skitter around the pair of them. They stop to whisper and point at them but Kurogane does nothing to ease their worry or concern.]
They'll live. [Probably. He doesn't miss the use of the nickname, a sign that Fai is not nearly as angry at him as he had once been.] Besides, there isn't exactly much we can do about it at the moment.
