[It happens so suddenly that even Sagi turns a little pink with embarrassment. This isn't a secret, so he isn't perishing on the spot like Joss undoubtedly will soon, but wow, really? In the middle of a cafe? His teenage heart can only stand so much whiplash.]
I, well... You didn't ask. Where did this come from?
[...He still can't help feeling faintly happy about admitting it, though.]
[Joss is only moderately perishing for now, torn between not intruding on what will undoubtedly be a somewhat private conversation and avoiding the awkwardness of leaving without a word - especially since Sagi didn't say anything about wanting him gone.
He's just going to silently overthink this while Hythlo and Sagi continue their conversation.]
[Unfortunately, Sagi only brightens up once the initial surprise wears off. If he made physical contact with the quietly suffering Joss right now, it would probably annihilate both of them.]
I do. She's back home in the sky, though.
[The sky thing is something he may have neglected to mention to Joss, but surely this is fine and won't produce any weird cryptid trains of thought much later.]
[Sagi heard Joss mumble something but has no context for guessing what, if anything, it means. He would simply ask, but Hythlo bringing his girlfriend up unexpectedly means his train of thought has well and truly pulled into a station.]
Who knows if we'll get the chance, but if we do, I'll take you to meet her. She likes meeting people.
[That said, he thinks that's about all there is to say on the matter if Hythlo isn't interested any more. Unless one tree or another blocks the exit somehow, he'll quite happily just carry on walking out of the cafe.]
[Insofar as he thinks ahead at all, which isn't much, Sagi mostly expects Hythlo to burst into tears for nebulous reasons. He's unbothered by having to stop and turn around, though. He's in a good mood now.]
Well, she saved my life. We were getting chased by soldiers, and all of a sudden, she drove them off for us.
[The version of the story that he likes to tell acquaintances (and indeed complete strangers) omits the parts about the murder attempts and the spying. It's fine.]
After that, we started travelling together. That's how I got to know her.
[Joss doesn't have any blank magnus, but even he can feel the waves of Mushy Feelings emanating from Sagi.
It's kind of cute... if a little embarrassing, and even if he can't help but feel a pang of bittersweetness.]
Cherish the moments you spend with her, Master Sagi.
[Not to be pessimistic or anything, it's just you never know when your loved one might get a STD (Spear Through Diaphragm) or die from some fantasy plague.]

I believe the decision should be up to Sagi! Although, of course, I would be curious to hear from you as well, master Joscelaint.
[He claps his hands together.]
But what I meant is--Sagi, I was completely unaware you have a young lady!

Hythlo seems to entirely ignore Joss's awkwardness, engrossed that he is in bullying Sagi.]
Fai mentioned it to me the other day! Milly, yes? He said you care for her greatly!

Oh. This is why Sagi has wings. He lives in the sky. Floating landmasses maybe? Like...]
Vanu Vanu...
[He's just muttering to himself, it's fine. Carry on.]
i tried to think about what that could have been misheard as but my first mistake was thinking
Va nous?..
