[ Grief and anger... Yuri can only wonder where that has gone for Dimitri as he knows him. What he's done with it, rather than evidently going mad and slaughtering Adrestian soldiers. Yuri wouldn't truly be in a position to ask, but surely, those personal losses placed a great weight on King Dimitri.
He knows the feeling of his own all too well. ]
The war's not yet finished for me, but we're at a turning point.
[ A pivotal victory, after which all that remains is to bring the war to its finish. After that...after that, Yuri hopes Dimitri accepts that proposal of his. The dream of bettering the lives of his people seems so much more tangible than it had been for so long.
Yet here they are, with mismatched versions of events, of each other, told the others have been snuffed out like a candle. But there isn't any proof, and Yuri has no desire to believe. Not that any of this is easy to accept by any measure. So, instead, he'll focus on something else. ]
If your war's over... Is it better for you now?
[ Or does he still carry his dead? That, surely, was the cause for the grief and anger he'd mentioned. ]
