[Somehow it makes him feel just a slight bit unhappy being compared to Kaname. Granted, he was only just getting to know him, but he didn't want to imagine the impression he had on his mother even from such a young age. In his mind he'd built Kaname up to be someone who had crushed his mother's heart, sacrificing himself as he had. It had been for the good of others but where had that left his mother? And still she'd given up her life for him.

Unconsciously, while he thinks of a good answer, he plays with the chain around his neck that now held the strange trinket he had been given. ]

I'm not the same as Kaname-sama. I want to do things that help people like Yuuki-chan smile.

[Mostly, it was for his mother that he continued this charade. He wanted her to keep living the peaceful life his grandmother had given her.]

Besides. Kaname-sama isn't always nice, you know.

[He pulls a face, not caring if he's saying bad things and would most assuredly be punished if Ai ever got wind of it. ]

Though, I guess I'm not either if I can say things like that.

[He smiles a bit, though the light doesn't quite reach his eyes.]
