[Her shock at his presence is not missed and he can feel a small swell of pride that his former title and face alone would make a heretic concerned. Though he was ever trapped behind a desk filled with undone paperwork when he did finally ride out onto the field it was to be noted.
He worked so very hard for his position considering his birth and he finds once more that he'd give anything to be behind that desk once more. That she and him could be rival forces upon the snow once more. Life, perhaps not better, was at least simpler. And it certainly wasn't this. But that is not something that either of them can have again.]
Lady Ysayle it is then... [It would be easy to give in to long harbored frustrations and anger at all that she has caused and done. For the lives stolen by her whims and will. But he knows more than he did back then and it would be an insult onto some of the last few words he and his Warrior of Light shared to act in any sort of vengeance.] You and the Azure Dragoon stole away the Warrior of Light to faraway lands for a painfully lengthy amount of time. Through your deeds it put an end to the Dragonsong War. And furthermore I was told you were felled in assisting our friends get to the Archbishop and his Heavens' Ward... those who were the cause of my own demise. And for those deeds you would have my ever eternal thanks. Ishgard is better for your actions.
Your actions at Dragonhead are not so easily forgiven. But at this point... it would seem unwise and senseless to hold onto anger. For there is naught to be done about the past. If you are friend to my hero... than mayhaps, in time, you could be friend to me too.
[It's the right stance to take. He knows this to be true. He believed in back then too when he first really saw her clearly and put himself in front of the Temple Knights to stop their pursuit. It is even more imperative to hold true to that stance here where there is no room for enemies of the past. Is life not miserable enough as it is? Why make things worse? And perhaps the most swaying of all of this is that his Warrior of Light truly believed that Ysayle's heart was ever in the right place.]
I am simply sorry to see you here as well... This is no place for someone such as yourself.
