[ There's a brief flicker of a smile at Daqiang admitting that much. ]
Yes, I may have picked up on that some time ago. Realize you are one of three that I allow to fuss over me as much as you have and get away with it.
[ He knows that there is much that Daqiang needs to work out for himself. That there are emotions and matters that Raha cannot help him work through. G'raha had to do the same, when G'raha Tia and the Crystal Exarch first came into contact with one another. There had been much reconciling that the two versions of the same soul had to do in order to become who he is today. Many emotions and the like to sort and sift through.
So who else can understand? G'raha, who sacrificed his body for the future of the star? Who brought death upon himself so that another could have a path forward? A man who had only held value because of the power of his eye(s), to the point where he had faced scorn as a child. Removed from his home because Garlemald could not be allowed to possess him? G'raha, who has been forced to shoulder the dreams and hopes of others... A man who had a great responsibility to the point where he had lost himself?
He listens to Daqiang and this term that he brings up. "Someone who knows you as you know yourself." An apt thing, perhaps. As close to family as one can be. This is what Daqiang would offer without his personal feelings behind the term "family."
G'raha nods. ]
Miqo'te don't have a word for such things, but I can offer a gesture that holds significance. My name roughly translates to Raha, Tia of the G Tribe. Those that are family, partners, and those that are as close to family as one can be without sharing blood may call a Miqo'te by their true name. So you may do so as well.
