[ Hasn't he always been? Then, now. Here as well. ]
One can only hope. Though, for your sake, I'll hope hard. [ He doesn't recall Sidurgu as a patient man, he doubts that's changed in the last few years. ] I...imagine you've had your fill of caring for children.
[ Exacerbated, no doubt, by grief and loss. The apology is like a lump in his throat, threatening to come forth. He lets it stay there; it weighs as it should.
Even if the words don't escape him, it tinges that last phrase with melancholy regardless.
The insurmountable burden of dying is one he knows well. He felt it himself. He read it on the faces of his mentor and the man who stands beside him now, in the person in which his fate is now inexorably and inextricably bound. There's precious little that can ease that burden, now or ever. ]
