[ Something about learning of Diluc's affinity for birds of prey just feels right, as though it had been an obvious fact just waiting to be spelled out. But Ori cannot hide the smile it brings to her face to hear him talk all the same, a more than welcome change of pace from the more serious and heavy conversations they've had throughout the month. As cathartic and vulnerable those conversations can be, she could certainly stand to have more of these lighthearted ones, she thinks.
She knows she's certainly looking forward to them, now knowing that she'll be seeing more and more of him as they head into the unknown of this new relationship - it doesn't feel like something to be scared of anymore, due in no small part to Diluc and Thoma's continued reassurances.
Her smile only broadens as he tightens his hand around hers, and she hums approvingly with a nod in response to his thanks. She can't quite bring herself to glance at him again just yet - a feeling which she feels is reciprocal given how she can only see the back of Diluc's head in her periphery - but she's content in the feeling of their hands entwined together. It's warm and wonderful and she likes it - and him - very much. ]
