[ Gods. Yamato is too good to him. It's why Day is covering his face with his hands, feeling kind of chagrined that he has to explain another terrible reality: ]
I've tried that before. You'd be surprised how many damn ways fate finds to keep everything off record. [ In the weary tone of someone who had a similar idea to Yamato and got thwarted at every turn.
But he doesn't want to say this situation is without hope, especially since someone else brought up an idea he would have dismissed weeks ago: ]
...But Malice—suggested that maybe I can find a way 'round this damned arcane fate, since we've got magic here. And I didn't seriously think 'bout it before, but...I wanna try. [ It's so weird, saying that. First with Ginger, now here again, but not just some vague desire to stay in a person's memories. Actually saying he doesn't want to give up again. ]
To be honest, I'm not really sure where to start 'cause it's kind of... [ He gestures with his hands as if to emphasize the scale of the underlying problem. ] big. Unless someone can figure out how to fix a broken constellation, but if we ain't figured out how to do that back home for a millennium, I dunno if the odds are better here.
...So I guess it might be better to approach this as, I dunno, a way to help me keep my ties with you guys or maybe even this world. Like an "anchor" that keeps my fate still visible even if it gets hidden away back home.
Hmmm...an anchor, you say? Some sort of seal that'll keep you bound to people, maybe?
[ Man, can he even do that kind of magic right now? Hard to say, but he'll contemplate this. He'll think hard about it. He's got some other things on his mind in regards to his capabilities as a wizard, so this might be within his scope and he just doesn't know it yet. ]
I'll see if I can come up with something. Let me know if someone else has something for you though, okay?
I dunno if "close" is the right word for it, more like... It was buggin' me, and he was willin' to listen.
[ And for that he feels a little bad that Malice now carries some of that burden, even if Day had tried to couch it as a what-if, for what little good it did. ]

[ Those are the first things that come to mind because Yamato? Yamato can do these things. ]
I'll try something, if you think it'll work.

[ That's still one thing that puzzles him, as much as he's been rolling with it. ]
But... thanks, Yamato. [ A small smile. ] I ain't told many people 'bout this yet.

[ Tatara answered some of his questions, after all! Kinda. ]
Don't worry, though. It's safe with me. I won't spread it around.
no subject
Maybe, yeah.
Malice knows. [ Surprise? ] And Ginger was the first person I ever told. [ So it's fine if it somehow comes up with either of them, he means. ]
no subject
Malice? Huh, I didn't know you two were that close.

[ Because despite how scary he looks, he's a good person. ]
I'm glad you told me, though. Thank you.
no subject
[ Bless Malice and his straightforward self. ]
...I just figured you deserve to know. You're one of my closest friends here.
no subject
[ And it feels nice to say it. It feels easier than it would've before, to tell someone that sincerely. ]
So there's no way I can let myself forget who you are, knowing that.
