[ If he ever doubted that they belonged together and that their souls are tied inextricably together, he no longer has any doubts. In all likelihood, he never had doubts to begin with, because with her, he has found everything he could have ever wanted or hoped for, and now he can scarcely imagine a life without her.
If they should ever be separated, he knows without a doubt that his soul will try to find hers, through as many lifetimes as it might take. And although they might appear differently from how they are now, he will know it when it's her.
The gravity of what she is saying is not lost on him, and as it sinks in, his shaking only continues. A part of him reprimands himself for his lack of control, but for the moment, the calm and collected Lord Speaker has gone, replaced by a man who is barely able to rein in his emotions. ]
There was a moment when it seemed as though that was our only recourse. [ Looking back on it now, he knows that he had begun to lose hope that he could be saved. He would rather die as himself than spend the rest of his days enslaved by a primal. But it seems as though Alkaid's faith and Alisaie's determination were greater than he could have imagined. He still resolves to properly thank Alisaie at his earliest opportunity. ]
But a part of me knew that it was you: not only the Warrior of Light, but Lantaa, the one whom I love most. I might not have been able to put it into words, but I knew that it was you.
[ The primal tried to take that from him, and he almost succeeded, but he still managed to hold onto at least a little of that recollection.
But as much as he would like to, and even though he still has a great deal of recovering left to do, he asks: ] What are we going to do now? What is... Do you know the state of affairs in Ishgard?
[ He imagines she will say they must remain here for some time longer, but he cannot hold back the question either. ]
