[ Flamebringer accepts the answer that they don't have anything to go back to without any pity or need to give sympathy. If there's nothing there, then they can create something for themselves here. His eyes roll as he thinks that while that's obvious to him, and may very well be what the kid's saying as well, he decides to say it aloud: ]

Then that means you'll have much to build for yourself here.

[ He then gives a small shrug at first before realizing that they're not looking at him. ] You're fine, and you're welcome.

[ Ah.

Normally, at this time, he would bring up the fact that he's intended to follow Meridian. Because of that, it means that the two of them may be enemies and he will look forward to slaughtering them on the future battlefield. You know, normal things that you say to people!!! To show that you think they're cool enough to kill!! A compliment!!

He looks to the side when they look up as he does have enough sense to know that a kid that seems this worried about upsetting him definitely will not see the compliment in him saying that he looks forward to when they eventually will come to kill each other.

Ah... ]
