[Most of that goes way over Sagi's head, but he's glad Hythlo seemed to follow what he said.]
Big and bright like they had in ancient times, probably. Unless...
[He trails off. He falls silent. He stays silent for a good few seconds.]
...Pffft.
[There's something childlike about that brief snort of laughter. He is so sorry. He can't help himself. The mental image... someone of Hythlo's stature, taking off from the ground on normal-sized flapping wings that barely reach his elbows... Oh no. It's more than he can handle after handling everything else just now.]
[Hythlo just looks at him inquisitively while Sagi stays silent... only to break into a smile when he laughs. He doesn't actually know what it is Sagi thought of that's so funny, but it's good to see the boy laughing... and Hythlo definitely wants in on it too.]
Oh? Unless what?
[There's an impish tone to his voice--also not that far off from a young boy messing around with his friends.]
[Oh noooo. Why didn't he think before answering that? He looks away, trying to cover his smile with one hand. As unto a metaphor for his life, his success is limited.]
Sorry, it... it's not that funny. I think yours would be nice.
[He doesn't even know why it entered his brain in the first place, it was that sudden. He feels almost light-headed.]
Th, that would... I mean, it... happens sometimes...
[He is beginning to match his bright red hoodie in colour. Also, his voice is getting squeakier, both from embarrassment and from his efforts to not lose his shit despite it. Escaped lab experiment nothing, being sixteen years old is very hard sometimes.]
[Hythlo only laughs and moves to stand up to follow and probably bully the poor kid more--but as he straightens up, he almost immediately keels over again, making a soft "ow-ow-ow" noise. Oh, his poor old knees - he spent way too much time crouching down. You can make your escape this time, Sagi.]

[There is no graceful exit at this point. He's outta here. He is literally going to turn around and walk away.]
