[ there's no way to protect someone forever, but maybe the key here is to raise someone who can love and be loved. because basilio is the sort of person who will never be alone—even knowing him as briefly as he has, till can tell that about him.
his own emotions are very soft at this, pillowy and touched and also a little abashed. ]
Now you're just embarrassing me...
[ but because it's affection week he'll just give del a hug, his feelings much more genuinely warm than his words. grumbling, ]
[ a short moment after he lets him go, though, the mirrors switch over to playing one of his memories (3:10:38 - 3:14:25; cw: death, mild gore) instead, which might put a bit of a damper on things.
he doesn't seem especially bothered by it himself, aside from finding it pretty embarrassing. but he definitely doesn't like subjecting others to having to see it either, so he sort of winces as he looks back over, apologetic. ]
[ EMBARRASSING!!! it's not embarrassing, it's cool. imagine getting to die in a cool way, standing up for your family and ideals. till isn't really soothed by that though, because watching someone you really like die is a miserable experience.
it's made a little easier by knowing everyone here is dead, and that the "sinners" here get a second chance. but it's still a nasty way to go, and he looks a little pale on top of extremely annoyed. ]
...What are you sorry about? I'm sorry this ugly bastard did that to you.
[ i'm sorry i know louis is a beautiful man but he's ugly now. blondes are crazy. ]
[ the way he died was fine, but he was hacking up blood grossly and getting really personal, it was a lot!!! ]
Sorry you had to look at it, obviously. [ ... ] And at the ugly bastard, I guess.
[ cracking a little smile at that part. it's actually been a long process here getting himself to let go of what remained of the respect and gratitude he'd still had for louis in spite of anything. ]
...Anyway, it's fine. Didn't really have many regrets about it... and we've supposedly got the chance to change things now anyway.

You and Bas are pretty okay too.

Ah, sorry, I'm no good at dealin' with this mushy stuff either.
[ or sincere compliments in general. he'd probably be shoving himself away if he were on the receiving end of this. ]
Appreciate you sayin' so anyway.

True, yeah. Just a couple more days and you'll be able to go back together. Really start a diner—tavern.
[ he's already got his hopes up about it which is dumb but what can you do. he wants this family reunited, dammit. ]
Who were those people you were protecting, anyway...? I saw some of them with Basilio, too.
