[There's a sharp intake of breath at her confession. In some ways he should have known or been a little more cognizant it it. But perhaps he had started to forget with how things had been with them lately. Has he been too complacent? Too focused on other things to not notice what was right in front of him?
And the worst part?
He can't promise her anything.
Promise that he'll always return to her or that he won't leave her again. Can't reassure her of anything. Only in Camelot was he able to at least leave her a message goodbye, spend those last moments filled with love, even if he lied to her. Here? He can't prepare.
It's then that he remembers his talk with Oriphi and Diluc. How the thought had also passed through his mind before but he didn't think too much of it.
...Dare he voice them now?
Dare he give her such a false hope?
Would it bring any source of comfort for her?
...]
...I'll find a way.
[His arms tighten around her as he takes the risk.]
