[ The Crystal Exarch falls quiet at her expressions. His hand remains on his chin, eyes slowly closing underneath the hood where she cannot see them. He cannot blame her for any frustrations or anger that she has. Truthfully? This could merely be the start of such things. Certain things must take place and be executed at the right time for the plan to save the star. He very well would not be surprised if she eventually cast him aside in anger; refused to forgive or believe him.
She remembers pieces and the general scope of things. If he were to be truthful? It is more than he had hoped for. He thought that perhaps she remembered some young fool sealing himself inside, but never the extent of it beyond that. His heart leaps into his throat. Whatever joy he may feel is dampened by the pure fact that she is so very upset with him. An upset that he can hardly elevate.
Slowly, his crystal hand lowers and his head turns to face her. Ruby eyes meet hers even if she cannot meet his gaze properly. ]
I do not know how your story will end or if it will be that of happiness. I pray that it is. I hope. I am determined to see that the path you walk will lead you to that. All that is in my power that I may use to achieve such an end will be dedicated to it. This, I can assure you.
There is no doubt that my promises ring hollow and seem empty. Something so far away that cannot be obtained or even seen. But, please, K'thisru, know this. Everything that I do is to set in motion a better future for our star--for your future. Nothing is withheld due to malice or ill-contempt, least of all mistrust.
[ His hand of flesh raises to touch her and yet hesitates at the last moment. It hangs in the air before finally settling back down at his side. There is little he has done to earn her trust, let alone the right to touch her. ]
As for your friend locked away within the Crystal Tower? There is no doubt in my mind that he watches you from afar and cheers for your success. That he prays for your well-being. So many of us do.
