She... believed in you, perhaps even loved you—No, I know she held a love for you.

Ah, see, I'd expected as much. I come from 9:40 Dragon, quite a few years in your future. For a moment, I thought you'd been just a babe slaying the Archdemon. [ Rhys can only assume that she's between the ages of 15 and 19, though he's leaning on the younger end of the spectrum. If she'd been from 9:40 Dragon, she'd have been a mere 10 at best when the Blight came about. ] I must admit it would have been a sight to see a child commanding soldiers and mages alike.
[ Rhys is good at adding some humor to dark situations, even if it's often unwarranted or tasteless. He can't help it. Doom, gloom, that's all mages seemed to want to talk about and he'd rather grin in the face of it all. ]
