[Ah, vindication... or yet again, Fenris understands this all but impossible issue, and Lorenz is glad for the honesty. He knows there are those who would consider his indifference towards mending broken bridges with old classmates callous— the difference is the lack of bias, he thinks. Specifically the lack of Fodlan bias, because Fenris' situation is similar enough to his own...
Well, it isn't as if Lorenz was going to change his mind and run after the Empire or the Kingdom people here and try to change them, or fall to his knees begging to turn back time to their halcyon school days. But it is validating to hear it called practical instead of selfish.]
Hmm. Thank you. [Earnestly, and he tilts his head down to kiss the top of Fenris' head again.] For your honesty, and for not patronizing me.
[Imagine dishing out condescending platitudes at a time like this... he'd roll straight out of this bed.]
It must be different with Isabela, [you know, because she is not a war enemy!] I have yet to meet her, but... How has she been doing with this kind of thing? These... "timelines."
