( Mmmm content with the skritchies, and yet, so at odds with the excitement he feels for Siffrin... they really sound so sure. )

The~n, if you're that close, you're practically there, right?

( He doesn't worry about advocating letting it get to Siffrin's head - they seem too cautious and determined for that! But Siffrin sounds certain, and he would very much like Siffrin to succeed, and didn't Hwylryn learn to use magic by believing his feelings with such certainty that they becomr true?

To some, it may seem like a jinx to speak as if it were decided fact - but, to Hwylryn, he imparts a good luck charm. )

When ( when! ) you succeed, and when you've had a million celebrations with your family and your dearest loves, ( g'raha ??? loop ?? belle besties ?? all of them!!!! ) you have to tell me, too, and you have to tell me all about it, and when I see you... we can throw you an even bigger celebration. I'll tell Ish all about it, and we can prepare... A departure from the past and a greeting for the future. You've worked hard enough.

( he just wants to throw siffrin a huge party, they deserve it, )
