"...my past doesn't leave me, even here." Walter murmured softly. "I'm not a good person, Cissnei. Nobody is. But...we can try to be better. I am trying to be better than what I was."

Armilla half nodded, half bowed to Rue respectfully, while Alessa spoke to her politely, but with a determination to her words. "It is appreciated. I know Walter will help me recover my strength, and then I will fight at his side." She didn't intend to lie back and let others carry her or fight in her place. She only needed time to rest and recover from what had happened.
