[He'd talked it over with Aerith, a little. Trying to explain why he didn't know for sure what Lavi would choose, despite knowing him so well otherwise. But he hadn't mentioned this, really. The toll Lavi's duty takes on him. The way he's devoted to it anyway. If Lavi does stay--more than anything else, Kanda suspects, it'll be because he feels the need to see it through. To observe until the end.
But Yuffie is right. He does deserve to be selfish. And he deserves to hear it, too. So:]
...Thanks.
[For writing him, and telling him the things Kanda couldn't. For being here with him right now, even though he was never good at supporting her on the other side. Regardless of where they all end up, or how this plays out--he appreciates that.]
[ luckily (?), he wouldn't have needed to explain this to yuffie. she and lavi have been through so much together, she's gotten to see the real lavi in ways that would be hard to share with another person. seen the toll his duty takes on him. even gotten his bookman memories. she herself was in the same spot as kanda -- not knowing what choice lavi would make, but wanting him to choose what's best for himself for once. but wanting him to ]
Of course.
[ normally she might brag about how how she's such a great friend (and he'd be able to tell from emotion share that she doesn't actually believe it), but this conversation warrants a little less bluster. ]
... If he does stay, then... when next we see him, we can beat the shit out of him. How does that sound?
[ the actual feeling is warmth, (not het, platonic) though. for him. disgusting ]
[At that, he--doesn't quite smile, because his mind is still focused on everything they need to do and sort out--but the emotional vibe is close enough.]

That was always the plan.
