Will it be a fond one for you? I'm not sure how good your memory is when it comes to detail, but I will have to do my best to make sure any with me stands out.
( he has an important mission where furina is only a grain of sand compared to it, she wouldn't take that from him.
unfortunately, furina does feel like this is one of those promises that she knows will probably break due to the inconsistencies that come with age, that's the scariest thing so far. knowing she will die, possibly forgetting this moment... not knowing who he is.
now she's scaring herself. )
I'm counting on you. Luckily, that's many, many, many years away so I will try to be with you on many adventures, then you'll have thousands of stories to tell.
If only I had more freedom, I'd accompany you on all of them.
[He is painfully aware of the passage of time. That the people he meets right now, Furina included, will die eventually, while he will live on. He comforts himself saying that the memories of those dear to him will always remain in his heart, but maybe it's easier to have such a positive outlook at the moment, because he's yet to experience the pain of loss.
Yet, he chooses to cherish each and every moment, forbidding himself from thinking about such a distant future. He wants to focus on things he can do.
On making sure that Furina experiences the fun of adventuring, that he can see her smile over and over again.]
That's right! And during those years we'll make soooooo many amazing memories.
And don't worry. It just means I will bring you back more stories to share. And then you can scold me "oh, you already told me that!" if I start telling the same tale the second time.
How funny, having me be the one to remind you of what stories you've told me. I guess I could let you tell it again, perhaps it was your favorite all along.
( does it hurt her heart to know that? no, never, it's what makes the other happy and she will listen to him over and over again. there will come a time where the stories will end, so why lose that chance... she never knows what story will be the one her own tale will end off on.
even with how he talks, it's like he'll be here for a long time, ugh! she does hope her wrinkles don't set in any time soon, or it'll be embarrassing to see him in person. )
