( Ah, he understands what he was being asked, now (or, perhaps, why).
The one Siffrin describes... Hwylryn can't presume much about him, but he sounds a lot like a Northerner. There is a reticence to change - either out of self-satisfaction, a pleasure and indulgence and pride in how one is; or agitation; the idea that change is linked to weakness, one way or another. He considers this - and finds himself failing in both. The Northern spirits would be sure to scoff at him if he returned.
He listens with care, sad for Siffrin, and their trials - as always. Though other people's feelings on him may have grown more complex, Hwylryn, perhaps with some privilege, has not changed his opinion much on most.
Just those who shut out his heart, and Siffrin has yet to. )
I think that's something. I think that's worthwhile.
( And it is scary. More than anything, ripping out what you love and have rooted in you is hard. )
... I think... as hard as it is to not have your life entangled with the same people anymore... as long as they're still around, there's still a chance you can meet with them, can't you? And share with them the sort of person you've become with G'raha.
( ... )
... I hope you become happy. And I hope you find happiness, together. I think it's the least you both deserve.
