Perhaps a conversation for when the either of them had a bit more familiarity shared between them. Sometimes unspoken understanding just wasn't enough to jump into sharing the extent of their tragic backstories.

"Mm," she can, in fact, relate to the sentiment, silvered scars still a reminder on her wrists. "And yet here you are, for better or worse. " It doesn't sound like she's referring to just him.

She was taught an odd sort of acceptance of her long life; it was all around her, and Aretuza assured her isolation. Sorceresses were always so easily removed from everything else. Maybe it made watching other die around you easier, but it mattered a bit less when you had no legacy to speak of.

But he, on the opposite end, seems the sort who, despite the years and the cruelty of a long imprisonment, in what little he actually told her, held on to something distinctly sincere. Patient and perhaps kind.

They'd both known cruelty, she thinks. But they might have grown from it in different ways.

"To think, I would have been robbed of your company otherwise," it doesn't sound like an insult, curled in subtle, dry humour. She tosses another look at the shops around them, at the white of the snow that her eyes are finally used to, breath clouding from her exhale.
