From:

[It's a softness and a sentiment that really seems to touch him, and he rests a hand over his heart.]

She is. I love Nadia very, very dearly... There isn't anything in this world- [A brief glance toward the mirror.] -or any that I wouldn't do to ensure her safety and happiness. I wouldn't be able to call myself a very good elder brother, otherwise.

From:

sacredpath

[she purely finds this incredibly sweet, even if maybe she should be slightly concerned.]

I've always felt a little jealous, of those who have siblings like that. She is quite lucky to have you.

[He's just smiling with his normal affections that would not supermurder a person.]

I'm the one who's lucky, really... If I could share this fortune with the world, I would gladly do so.

[Part of him wonders if Shadowheart did have siblings like that, once upon a time, but he leaves it quiet.]

From:

sacredpath

...Do you regret it? What happened with your mother and father?

[she doesn't know what to think about it, but she does strongly feel as though the concept of family itself is not so important as it is the love of one.]

From:

faithkept

[There's a little bit of hesitation, but he shakes his head.]

If I were to regret that, it would be like regretting that Nadia is still able to live as herself today.

From:

sacredpath

I'm not sure it would be. I think you can regret something even if you wouldn't want to change the outcome.

From:

faithkept

...Well, I do agree with that at large, I suppose. Ultimately, I would have preferred not to. Nadia deserved to grow up with loving parents and a healthy body.

[Unfortunately, Relivers are insane.]

I don't know that I would call it regret, though.

From:

sacredpath

Maybe not. It sounds as though it was the world that took that life from her.

[even if he had done something different, would it have given her the things she deserved?]

From:

faithkept

It was very unkind to her. It feels as though it's always the children who suffer...

[It's part of why he gets so ridiculously upset when he sees things like Shadowheart's own memories. Children are innocent and yet they always suffer.]

...Shall we find our way out of here? Before the glass decides it isn't done with its cruel little games.
