[Look, he's a very dutiful and impressionable grandson, you can't just spring something like that on him!!
But...admittedly, it's a sweet request. In a way, it's something he hadn't dared consider while mired in all of this debt and duty. Still... it's a nice thought, isn't it?
He has the right to be happy as well.
Slowly, Amagiri takes a slow breath, and then he smiles, though his head is ducked still, if only to hide how it's a little...sad. Kazutake tries so hard on his behalf, and sometimes he wishes that there were a way to convince him completely that he's content with his lot in life. Happy, no. It's not good enough to be happy. But it is enough, and he doesn't want his grandfather to struggle so much with the consequences he could have never seen coming.
But perhaps doing just this in the far future would be enough to convince him.]
Then...someday, I will do so. When this duty is done, and we are able as a clan to move on, I will start a family. [tiny Amagiri children........... no that's too perfect to contemplate
and then he properly looks up at Kazutake, smile more proper.]
I will request in turn that you are present when the time comes to see my fulfillment of this promise.
