[ He merely shrugs, because there was a part of him knew that he was only wasting his breath and getting his hopes up for a lost cause. ]
Ever since the day that I attempted approaching him with my questions and was rebuffed, I knew that the chances of him accepting me were rather slim, if not completely nonexistent.
[ And now that he has been dispatched by Alkaid and her sister, that has all ended. But he cannot pretend that he wishes the outcome had been different. It seems clear enough to him that his father was set in his ways and in his thinking, and nothing he said was going to alter that.

He pauses for a moment, takes note of their respective positions, and he carefully rests his head lightly against her shoulder. If at any point, he notices that she does not appreciate the gesture, then he will withdraw, of course. ]
One day I hope that you are able to properly rest and no longer have the number of obligations that you presently do. I must admit that I regret that a good portion of those obligations have come from me, and for that I apologize.
[ He still is of the belief that some of their present challenges could be addressed without having to trouble the Warriors of Light, but then he would have less of a reason to see her. It is truly a mixed bag of blessings. ]
