Her pelvic floor flexing, Irhya places her hands on his cheeks, breathing a little quicker than before. Most people wouldn't trust someone whose entire scheme was built on lying to other people in order to stoke fires of their own making. Untempering wouldn't, doesn't change the fact he still brought seven entire worlds and hundreds of millions of lives to their deaths.

Truth be told, she doesn't fully trust he won't still try to overwrite what she worked so hard for, not even after expressing her disappointment in it. But she trusts that he will do what he thinks is right, and for that much she cannot fault him. Not when he comes from such a different place in terms of perspective.

"I'm glad," she remarks with a hint of wonder. Perhaps they're finally getting somewhere in terms of seeing her as her current self, not as someone she used to be and will never be again. Then, with a smile that is slightly raw, "I have ever aspired to be one of the people you were loyal to."
