[Without lust for power or greed for anything greater than he already has, it's never been about favors or supernatural strength, or anything like that, really. He doesn't expect anything out of the situation, just... to make a better mark on the people he's met and cares about. Somewhere along the way he had gotten so wrapped up into what he was going through, and his emotions, to not get a view of the bigger picture and take a step back.
So here he is, doing exactly that. No defensive stance, no arms crossed; just standing there and looking at Achilles as he starts to talk. It's a lifelong struggle for a lot of people, and an all out tirade of effort when it comes to Ryuji; understanding people in general. Nodding, he finds purchase by sitting at the edge of his bed.]
I'd be happy to hear it, if you're still willing to tell it. [He notices the lyre on the bed next to him, holds it for a second, before offering it up to Achilles and letting his expression soften, willing.] I wanna understand you too.
