[ ryouma is a little confused at first, but once he settles the gesture and the words together are a lot more reassuring than he could've expected. it's not what he asked for, but it'd be a lie to say he didn't feel just a little relieved at the same time.
he doesn't object because hizen is probably right and rest is what he needs. he doesn't have the same sort of oversight here to keep him from running himself ragged until he can't anymore. ]
... Okay. I'll try.
[ when will he ever feel rested? or ready? maybe never entirely, but he could do better. ]
No, I will. 'Cause I gotta. I don't like it this way. That's never the kinda person I wanna be, who's too scared to deal with things.
[ he's been running for a long time and, now that he's acknowledging it, he slipped for a moment, but ryouma is still who he is and he can't live with just wallowing in it. ]

When it's... better.
