[The last time he'd been on the deep waters, he'd been sailing towards more trials than he could count- grief, pain, and a reunion that would never come. He'd been anxious and eager, almost hopeful but not quite daring to be. Before the rite they'd taken time to explore the ocean, fish, discover new places they'd never seen (and places they perhaps would never see, in the case of Angelgard which had not wanted them there). That had been exciting and fun, just a near-carefree adventure in the open world. It's what the sea should be like.
He wouldn't mind exploring that with her here. No heartbreak awaiting them in the future, no destiny or wrathful gods. What would the ocean be like, in this world? Newly revived, and ripe for discovery. And maybe real stars to gaze at, not just a fake sky with constellations no one remembers.]
I like that... we could go anywhere we wanted, I bet. Oceans are the pathway to open up the whole world, after all.
[He can't help smiling, though he has nothing to prove those words, just a hunch and a hope. ]
