Oh wow, he really just went right for it. Gyre's eyes widen slightly when Eight brings Seven up like that, tilting his head curiously. He glances at Luka, watching his face for a beat as he works through all those feelings he's probably having. The princess seems to regret hurting them, and Gyre already said his piece about it. It was frustrating they were hurt at all, but they're not dead. They are recovering.

"How are they doing?" he can't help asking after a beat, unable to just let them go. He wants to check on them sometime today, but he's not sure when he's going to get the chance.

In fact, he's going to ask for even more detail about them when Luka goes and introduces him?? His attention snaps to him, and he looks utterly bewildered. Introducing another person is so bold and intimate to him, he never thought the princess would do it. It catches him off guard, making him sputter a little in the background while Luka asks the actually important questions. He'll rejoin the conversation in a moment. Give him a sec.
