... Yes, perhaps that is so.

[ He looks down at her work, shifting his sword to the crook of his arm so he can fold his hands into his sleeves. He's pondering for a moment, deciding that it's highly doubtful that that man would ever show up. History itself has almost forgotten him, after all. ]

I have a lot of time to wonder. But I won't think of it anymore. There is no point.

[A sigh, then...]

...there really isn't.

[She had avoided thinking of home since coming here. The things Ceres kept throwing at them kept her occupied enough. But once she started she couldn't help wonder about the 'what if's...]

[ He nods. And he's very much the same. Too much idle time, and thoughts start to filter in. Although more often Taroutachi thinks of Jiroutachi, and wonders if he'll return here or if they will be reunited back at the Citadel. ]

[ Nods. He sympathizes to a very small degree, but overall he understands the general emotion behind her words. ]

Perhaps not. But you think of that person nonetheless, be it with fondness or contempt.

[withoutrest]

[She opens her mouth to deny that it was contempt...then she closes her mouth because why does she need to explain herself to someone else?

She just shakes her head.]

It may be easier to forget, but doing so would almost seem cruel.

[ He sighs through his nose, and then nods. ]

There's no easy answer either way, it seems.
