Wriothesley's question offers a distraction from darker thoughts.] Hm? That she no longer has to parade as Archon. She is free to travel and live her own life.
[Neuvillette's puzzled pause speaks volumes. He reaches up to cover Wriothesley's hand with his own.] Yes... And your boat was invaluable in helping to save many lives. [His other hand comes to rest on Wriothesley's chest before sliding up to his neck, cupping the back of his head. The gesture doesn't exactly feel natural but it feels right. He finds himself longing for this closeness and physical touch. It's reassuring in a way he hadn't expected, or thought he would want.] If you haven't yet experienced the prophecy... then I have quite a bit to tell you...
