( He gives Break a surprised sort of look. Really, Gilbert hasn't mentioned much about where he's from at all except for something about a Duke that loves eccentric things so this comes as a shock to him.
Someone familiar? That's the second time Break has mentioned this to him. He'd said it a few days before, hadn't he? And he touches his forehead because he can still feel it even if it wasn't a hard tap or anything like that. He's a sword, okay, he remembers touch is the strongest sense tied to his memory. )
The person you mentioned before? ( He isn't asking for an explanation, really, since this is none of his business but he wouldn't deny being curious. He's quiet for a second, taking this in and wondering if this is a good thing. Yes, there are people here who remind him of people from back home and he thinks that's nice most of the time... but after all this time here, the affiliation is a little hard at times. It makes him want to protect them more and it makes it harder when they get hurt. It makes him miss home and when he thinks of home, he thinks of his brothers and he begins to worry. ) . . . I didn't mean to.
( He won't apologize but he can't help but sound apologetic.
And he also gets the feeling that Break doesn't want to be the mediator for all of this so he tries to cut to the chase, )
Is that why he doesn't stay when I'm around, then?
