Mm... That would largely depend on which definition of ‘close’ you mean?

[Closing the book he’d been reading, he marks the place with his finger and gestures back and forth with the book as he continued.]

Proximity wise? We live in the same dormitory dome, so the answer there would be yes. Personally... I can’t say definitively? As stated before, I’ve only just arrived recently myself. I also don’t believe that I can speak for the other Rhy, I’m not sure what the personal requirements for us being close would be for him.

[Tucking the book under his chin, he offers a small shrug.]

Speaking for myself? I find the other Rhy to be an interesting person and an engaging conversationalist that I’ve looked forward to getting to know better. He’s quite intelligent, and... inquisitive.

[The matter of clothes has him quirking a brow, it was amusing to think that even now a decade was still quite outdated to him.]

Out of style or not — Which you both are, if I’m being honest — they suited him. Although...

[Face pulling into something more thoughtful, before nodding as though he had come to a conclusion.]

Perhaps they wouldn’t suit you in quite the same way.
