It's the answer Vahvuus expected, but he'd still waited for it anyway, not used to free will or the ability to utilize it. A wave of relief rushes through him when permission is granted, which does surprise him. He hadn't realized how badly he wanted it until just now. The desire had been quiet and distant, blocked off behind a mental wall with naught but a window to peer through. He'd ignored it for so long, but Sorey's presence and persistence in treating him like a person has brought the topside of it lower, brick by mental brick.
Exhaling softly, he steps forward and dips a single foot into the stream, feeling the water flow over his skin, fresh and clean. This area is teeming with malevolence just like the rest of the world, so he knows distantly that it's not the purest, but with Sorey's protective domain it's soothing to the touch. It feels like--
"Gramps, why does the spring never empty when it's flowing over the cliff like that?"
"It's replenished by mana, flowing through the presence of water seraphim in my domain into the earth around it. You can feel it, can't you?"
In a sudden rush that he barely even registers until after the fact, his feet kick off the stream's edge and he plunges without restraint into the water, submerging himself entirely, letting it swallow him up. He stays under for longer than he knows he ought to, eyes closed behind the mask, allowing himself to feel, truly feel it.
