The first matter of business had been setting his office back to order. He had really intended on leaving after his talk with Kain, but... Somehow, Sword always managed to change his mind about things. Ky could only hope he'd made a good choice. He used the excuse of re-organizing his office to give himself time to recover from jetlag, calm his nerves, and get used to the idea of being back at the prison again.

At length, however, he ran out of things to unpack. Sighing, he smoothed his jacket out and draped it over the back of his office chair, looking over his tidied office. Well. There wasn't any more delaying it, though inwardly he dreaded several things: seeing Sword in bad condition, or finding out that things had changed while he was gone.

But, eventually, the concern and worry over everything and the urge to see Sword won out, and the newly re-instated cheif guard headed to Sword's cell, since recent reports notified him the man was out of the infirmary now. Hopefully that was good news. He felt self-conscious-- he was sure he looked terrible, with bags under his eyes, looking awfully tired from traveling. But still. He hoped he'd be something of a welcome sight-- that was, if Sword could see now.

He arrived at Sword's cell, but didn't let himself in right away, although he had the key and the authority to do so. "Sword?"

A little of the frustration Ky felt bubbled over unintentionally, although he had meant for this to be a peaceful reunion. "Sword, I changed the direction of my life to come back here. If you had died... You wouldn't have been the one alone, " he answered, a note of desperation. "Promise me again that you'll take care of yourself, and then promise me you'll keep your word. I don't know what your intentions are, how long you mean to be with me, but until this is over... Please."

Sword shrugged, "You couldn't promise me that you would come back. Only that you would try. I learned a long time ago not to put trust into hope."

"I promise. I will take of myself." He wasn't sure what too say to the rest of what Ky said. What he mean by that anyway? 'How long you mean to be with me....'

Ky had not meant to say so much, and until he'd spoken, he hadn't realized how deeply Norman and Dante's words from a few days ago had affected him. He hadn't realized how much doubt had been planted inside him, and the worst part was, even though he realized it now, it seemed to only to fester more, making his stomach do an uncomfortable little turn.

"Then let me ask you to learn to put trust in me, " the young guard replied quietly at length, running his fingers tiredly through his hair. The last few weeks had been so emotionally taxing. "Because no matter how great the odds are that this will hurt me, I'm putting my trust in you."

Sword furrowed his brow, "But I already trust you Ky. Even though it's probably not the best thing to do. It's hard to trust anyone in here, even the staff. But I trust you. And I never mean to hurt you. I want this to work."

"... Do you really?" Ky asked gently, his voice a little subdued. "Everyone says I'm foolish for doing this. They say you'll make me love you, use me, and throw me away." His smile was a sad one, and he was a little glad Sword couldn't see it. "But believe me when I say I won't betray your trust..."

Sword nodded, "Yeah everyone would say that. They just want me to miserable. And granted, it's what I used to do. But a person can grow can't he? They're just all too stupid to see that..." He sighed. "I feel like I've made a huge mess with everything. And the more I try to fix it, the more messy it gets. I can't...." He shook his head and blink a few tears away.

"Of course, a person always deserves another chance, " the blond agreed readily, honest. "I'm sorry.... I couldn't help a little doubt. It was hard being away and hearing things..." He made a little erasing gesture in the air with his hand. "But that's the past."

Ky never liked to see Sword unhappy-- he didn't like to see anybody unhappy, least of all someone he cared for-- and it tugged at his heart strings that life had been so rough for the man lately.

"I wish I could help you fix things, Sword, " his voice went quiet again, one slender hand reaching out to briefly, almostly shyly touch the other's. "You know you can always talk to me."

Sword would have liked to think so. But could he really? He bad when he talked about sen to Ky or vice versa. All he did he squeeze the blond's hand in answer.
