Laurelin is thinking about her question, seriously considering what it felt like to not have the sun inside of him. He doesn’t realize she had been likely just asking rhetorically, he just assumes that she’d like to know what it was like to be who he as (and it was pretty great). But then she replies to his question and his attention withdraws from himself and focuses on her, because she’s saying some pretty cool stuff that actually is interesting even though it’s not about him.
His bright eyes have some of the same wistfulness as hers as he listens, wondering if what she describes feels anything like the warmth he radiates. He likes to think so, since she makes it sound so nice.
Laurelin’s grin grows bright when she shares her hope and he is quick to respond to that - “Oh, it’ll come back and we’ll see each other again when it does, that's gotta happen.” He is sure of it now - because he wants to see what it’s like to be friends with someone with the sun inside of her. And the big sun is going to cooperate and make this happen for the both of them. Even though he looks better at night - he still looks pretty great in the daylight too so it won’t be so bad.
He’s off in his own thoughts again when she falls quiet - not noticing that the corners of her mouth have tipped down. He would have spoken some random thought to fill the silence eventually… probably. But for now he is content to let his thoughts drift wherever they will go until she speaks again.
In her eyes! Laurelin leans in too, his vibrant eyes dancing between hers, looking for what she’s describing. He’s a little disappointed to discover that there is no burning silver in her eyes, though they are a very agreeable shade of brown anyway. Especially when he can see a little bit of his blue glow reflected back at him. Very agreeable. “It’s gone now.” He tells her, and at least has the decency to have sympathy in his voice. “But don’t worry, it’ll come back. And then I’ll be able to see it.” Laurelin's grin returns, illuminated by the blue glow of his coat, and his voice is absolutely brimming with certainty. “Just you wait.”
