Seto's heart is swelling almost painfully. It's been a rough journey through these layers, facing things about himself that are still awkward and new. That he of all people has somehow come to focus on hope? And that he's inspired other people to do so? It's still so strange to think about.
But he listens quietly, soaking up Esteban's warmth and gratitude. For all that it's weird, it's...nice. He's a person who stumbled his way into an epiphany and somehow managed to drag someone else along with him, improving both of their outlooks. That's worth celebrating.
Esteban is his friend, and he'll cherish that for a long time to come. So he holds on with a little smile on his face, steadying the taller man for as long as he's needed. They're stumbling through this whole mess together, and he's definitely one of the best people to share this with.
He's smiling when they finally step apart a little, and he takes a moment to really focus on his face. This is someone Seto wants to remember for a long time...actually, he has an idea! But before he can voice it, there's a flash of heat on one of his belt loops, and a certain baby apple suddenly drops into Seto's outstretched arms, her big eyes blinking.
"Snapper? What---how'd you escape again---"
She shifts, her wide eyes searching...and she sees who she's looking for! She growls happily at the sight of Esteban, waving her paws in his direction. Seto takes in the sight of this, looks down at her in disbelief...and sighs, with a little shrug and half-smile. Okay, Snapper. You win this round. He offers her to Esteban.
