"I saw those... he told me about what he was doing. Think he might have been a bit shocked when I didn't seem to be as pleased about it, either. Doubt he'll be causing trouble here, and I'll make sure he won't if he tries."

Not that she agreed with any of the Ascians' actions, besides the understanding as to why. But it's not even her argument to have.

The only reason she even knows is through Emet-Selch, and the Warriors of Light she's encountered, after all. At his words, her ears droop and she huffs lightly.

"... It's just strange, is all. Knowing some version of me went through the tales I was told by the other Warriors." That they could have been a part of the friend you miss so much. She doesn't voice that bit, but she sighs.

"Suppose there's no point in worrying about what isn't true for me, anyroad. We've met without any of that..." She looks aside, then. "I just don't want to be held to any sort of expectation I can't fulfill."

She's not a Warrior of Light here, after all. She doesn't want to be seen as someone who could remotely accomplish what they have- she has her own path and is happy to walk it. Not that she doubts she could do things beyond her limits- but-

"... but what I do know, is that I care for you. I can't answer why beyond what we've already done. And I wish you'd rely on me a little more if you feel that clouded."

Just putting that out there.
