[Her tone is gentle, but she still doesn't look at him. Her expression does soften to something sadder, however.]

But I can't agree with it. I won't.

And so begins another age of conflict, [ he says in light jest, shaking his head with a short sigh. ] I will make the most of my time here with you, Irhya. That is what you do, isn't it? Make every second of every minute of every day count.

[Irhya lifts her head, her lips thinning gradually until, in one motion, she hooks her arm into his, whirls around, and starts them walking again.]

...Thanks.

[It's a tiny admission, spoken with the air of a cat who just did something embarrassing. She pushes a little closer.]

I'm sorry if all of this is weighing on you. But I want to hope you'll find a reason to live on by being here.

[ He stumbles at first, not expecting the motion. But he soon keeps pace.

He's not sure how to reply to her at first. There's a lengthy silence as he mulls over what to say. ]
