( wrath nods in quiet acceptance to these words. he does remember her initial reservations. they were ones he shared with her, but it was her choice to make, and he is grateful it has been a comfort. it has given. so much has been taken from her as it is. he doesn't want anything to have any more of her - certainly when she does not choose it but this she has chosen.
except this will be taken too, won't it? these dragons cannot come with them through the beacon nor to their next location assuming this beacon fails like the others have. it's a marvel to him still: how she connects, how she cares. none of it comes easily to creatures who are immortal, who were not made to connect or care. )
Will it still have been worth it once you have? ( some changes cannot be undone. the space in her heart that she has given to this dragon cannot be reclaimed, and yet she's given even with the loss she has already experienced. after seeing her go through that grief, is it any wonder he would want to spare her from more, or at least give her the choice to spare herself from more? as ancient as he is, he does not always have the answers nor can he prepare her properly, and he was not allowed to grieve the only time he could have felt it. much has been taken from him as well. )
