I am, of course! Amano is too adorable not to enjoy playing with lol! 
I think once we get through this scene and out at sea there's going to be plenty more action and chances for the two to bond, near misses and the like though if you want to add an element of trouble in before they leave then that would be fine. What we need for Illiendi is a push, he's already growing faintly affectionate for the boy due to the flower and such like, we'll need more times like that to push him closer emotionally to Amano. While I dunno how Amano feels about Illiendi at the moment either, so maybe we need something for Amano to start getting the hots for Illiendi too. Any ideas?
