Rhy stiffens slightly. He doesn't usually feel awkward, and Kell isn't exactly a stranger to him flirting with people left and right and occasionally getting them both into trouble. But this feels different. Knowing Kell had seen--
Something. He's not eager to ask exactly what, feeling a rare sense of embarrassment. It's one thing to talk about it, and another to know Kell was in his memories.
He understands what Kell is getting at, though.
"Yes. I do enjoy being with him," he confirms, unable to quite shrug off the awkwardness. "But also... he has a close connection to the Singularity. The way his magic works-- I don't know how to explain it, Kell. It's like he's part of it. Sort of how... I am now."
He's not really sure how to explain. And he doesn't want Kell to feel like he's being replaced, considering how upset he'd been about the loss of their connection. It's not the same by far, but at the same time, he doesn't want to tell Kell how much the loss has really affected him and make Kell feel even guiltier.
