( Ah, he immediately recognizes what Dhaos is doing and he's a little shocked! It's something very familiar that used to be very common for him in his life before arriving in the town but has been scarce these days. He's quiet, looking down at their hands and let's the moment sit.
He meant it when he said this was something his brothers often did for him when he was upset and it's because it really is calming for him. He's still stressed-- he's built up so much here, it can't possibly dissipate in a single night, but he's able to relax and once he relaxes, he can feel something that hurts in his throat and he begins to cry quietly.
Head bowed, Urashima blinks and tries to stop because really, crying won't do any good here and he knows that but he's so stressed. )
I... I want to go home...! ( That isn't a reasonable request at all and he knows it but he's a childish spirit so he just shouts the first thing he wants. ) I want to go home and s-see Hachisuka and Nagasone a-and master and everyone...!
N-no one deserves to be here!
( Eight weeks into this place and up until now, he'd been hopeful. He'd help everyone here, he'd protect his friends, help everyone get home, and his brothers would come to help them. All wishes that had been for everyone else as much as him and he'd been obvious with hinting his own desires to go home-- talking about his brothers, being convinced he'd see them again-- but this is the first time he's ever explicitly said he wanted to go home. Him. Of course he wants to help everyone here but he wants to go home too because this place is awful.
He's older than he appears and he's stronger spirited but at the end of the day, he's still very much a young spirit-- practically a child compared to all of the others he knows. )
