[There's a thoughtful nod. Anything like that happening would be terrible, I agree...
[Though he's got the feeling even Frey and Cain have better luck of not inciting mass panic than Princess Minerva. A man with a sword... himself, is getting Looks from the people which notice he has one. Gordin as well, his quiver hasn't gone unnoticed. Even with warhorses - he's faith in his mounted units enough to know they'll be able to control the animals bred for war. But a wyvern... people rightly fear them. He presses on, turning to Gordin when he mentions returning to Altea.]
You intend to? That would be wonderful. I know that you've been missed. The barracks speaks of you frequently. Ryan pushes himself to be like you. He's very earnest, and hard working.
[He understood Gordin's reasons for leaving, of course he did - hence permission to actually leave came freely from him. But it felt like an important part of all of them left with him. The fact he intends to come back does make a smile come to his face - of course it does - and it's one he actually means. Very much so. But at the question it turns serious again.]
No. Not at all...
[Kind of. Sort of. Of course.]
Jagen and Chris are helping me shoulder what is to come. No- everyone is helping. [And he's grateful. Very much so.] The world has gone mad, again. But we will all set things right, together.
