Felix isn't pushing him away yet. There is hope. Dimitri nods almost too quickly and wipes his face, letting go of his kite completely so he can give Felix all of his attention and not be distracted again.

He'd wanted to keep distance between, was afraid of getting close...but he's following without question and to a place he can't stand.

He's glad the clothing he was forced into was lightweight since he hates the heat of the beach but the two do walk side by side. "You're older than I've ever seen you. I take it you come from a world I don't exist in anymore..." He sighs a little ears and tail dropping. "The last Felix...the one I came to love started out like that too. In his world he'd gone to Edelgard's side and murdered me even. I wonder if you did the same."
