I will stay here. [ He doesn't mind others—he's used to being with his men at camp and it's preferred to being alone. It wasn't as if he lived with Gilgamesh anymore than he could help it. As soon as attention waned, he would leave until he was dragged back again. No matter what he thought and believed about himself and the other, he knew he was useless around there if he wasn't catering to the king. So, he doesn't stay, especially after being strangled in that dreamscape.

When Gilgamesh wants him there he goes back. So why can't he do the same and stay with Hakuno if she wants him here? ]

There is absolutely no place I would rather be. [ Gently, he places a kiss to her temple before returning to having his head nuzzled against hers. ]

I know you are right. You're just the first person who's said it to me. [ Luckily he is not so far gone he can't escape the manipulation with the culprit absent. Someone to remind him that it's not him is apparently what he needs. There aren't that many people who care about anyone enough to do such things without being given reason. And Masamune's is not good with telling others of his weaknesses.

(Because he believes he is a failure, that he wasn't strong enough and he should have been to get away from the Servant. Regardless of everything, what kind of dragon would ever let that happen to them...?) ]

So, yeah, I will stay. As long as I'm not taking up space you need, that is.
