The magus sat in relative silence during the short horseback ride, but he also had a lot on his mind. Still, Kreneas thought it wiser to wait to speak his thoughts when he was sure Irime and himself were far away from the small camp they were using as headquarters. Taking a seat beside Irime on the rock, he picked up a nearby stone and skipped it across the lake as he listened to the archer's concerns. [color=silver]"To be honest, Irime, I went after you because you were part of the group - our group. If you thought I was trying to single you out... I wasn't trying to, and if I did, I am deeply sorry. I want you to know that the same circumstances that you feel towards the death of our comrades are the same thing I feel, but I try my hardest to keep my feelings locked away. I tend to be not as vocal with my feelings, but I can assure you I feel the same hatred and contempt that you do, Irime."[/color] Kreneas fell silent for a moment. [color=silver]"I took the chance to stand up in front of Ithithara because we're together, as a team. Surely, I wouldn't be a good team mate or partner if I didn't take my share of the burden. I hope you understand."[/color] Kreneas kept his gaze from Irime, and focused it at his own reflection at the edge of the water. His tone was uneasy, and maybe there was something more to what he was saying. After all, the magus wasn't that great with these types of conversations and often had a hard time getting his point across. [@Wick]
