[sometimes you are an open book but also very good about killing your feelings in a crisis and it's just that there is not a crisis happening now.]

... Losing people is a part of conflict. And I'm the one who ran when they told me to.

[doesn't regret it, knows that staying behind wouldn't have helped, but.]

[sacredpath]

It is. And living to fight another day is important, particularly when the stakes are so high.

[but it still hurts, to lose someone who mattered.]

[kumeyuri]

Would've been nice if I had made it a full day.

[unfortunately,]

But you're right.

[sacredpath]

[she can't help but laugh at that.]

Yes, that is the frustrating thing, isn't it? Some moments feel as though they will change your life forever, but then your life simply stops all the same.

[kumeyuri]

If only the strength of our convictions was enough.

[for a fulfilling life, or to avoid death.]

[sacredpath]

I wish I could relate, but I'm not sure I have even that.

[strength in convictions...]

Though lack of conviction has done more good for me than one might think.

[kumeyuri]

...

Yeah, being not 100% set in your beliefs might've been a good thing in your case...

[sacredpath]

Yes, I very much think so.

[which is kind of funny to think about.]

Very good to have convictions, unless they are wrong. A simple enough lesson.

[kumeyuri]

[a snort]

Yeah, who wouldn't be able to follow that?

[though after the initial wryness, his expression and tone softens.]

... Though seriously—I know you probably don't want people asking you this, but... are you going to be okay?

[sacredpath]

I don't mind you asking.

[a sigh, and a small smile.]

I'm not exactly in a good situation. Lady Shar won't forgive me, but... there are some troubles you must take as you come.

[kumeyuri]

... True. [a pause] It feels a little blase to say in your situation, but nothing ventured, nothing gained? Although the venturing isn't entirely optional in this case.
