[ daylight's winglets twitch in a thoughtful manner, careful and slow and unsure, as daylight tries to comprehend the idea that him being scared is him being brave. somehow, someway.
a part of him has a kneejerk reaction to protest the idea, childish and silly as it is to fight with someone who daylight knows is trying to up his spirits. he gets it! he gets it, really does. it's just- keith didn't seem to be afraid right. nightbreak isn't afraid and seems incapable of the emotion. his mom and dad and his family never seem afraid when he looks back, those times made soft and vibrant due to death and distance and desire.
thankfully the reaction is that: a reaction. one that he quashes down and he smiles at keith, trying to show bravado in spite of it all. ]
I-I didn't think bravery would be that. That's pretty- [ hm. what's a good word for what he thinks of it?
when in doubt, go with mom's favourite word: ] -That's pretty extraordinary. If I had known that? I would have admitted to being a big chicken over some of the things we get into waaaaay sooner.
