Elijah's tiny smile immediately fell as Jeong's enthusiastic tone dropped entire octaves. He mentally cursed himself for bringing up the topic, instinctively squeezing Jeong's hand as soon as his voice hitched.

"Hey, Jeong. It's alright, it's alright-"

He splashed forward to sit in front of him, reaching up to smooth down his damp peach hair.

"You shouldn't regret anything that you did. You followed your heart and stayed true to yourself despite it all. They should have respected your identity and choices and gave you the freedom to do whatever the hell you wanted in your life. And that's the end of it."

He reached out a hand, the tattooed vines and flowers that decorated his forearms and back becoming distorted as they were submerged in the water. Elijah quickly turned back to Jeong, a small frown on his face as he sighed, beginning to float on his back, eager to change topic in an effort to comfort his beloved.

"If they do anything to you, I'll fight them. And by fighting, I mean submitting a small complaint via e-mail. I still have to make a good impression." He half heartedly smiled, sticking out his tongue to cheer him up. "Y'know, you've got to show me some of your art stuff. I still haven't seen that much yet... You're pretty good."
