I dearly hope you are right. [Just as it takes some time for her to respond, it takes Regis some time as well. He doesn't want his response to be an automatic one, but one he has thought about and considered the implications of. Oh, how he would love a different future than the one he has learned bits and pieces of. One where his son doesn't have to suffer. One where Cor doesn't remain alone with duty as his only partner until the very end. One, perhaps, where there is no need for a bloodied tassel to be the only reminder of a lifelong friendship and words left forever unspoken.
Regis would love it all, but it is harder for him to be so optimistic these days. His wife's death dimmed so much of the hope that once light up his heart.
For other's, though, perhaps he can continue to hope.]
They, and the world, deserve so much more than what seems to lay in store for them.
[At least now, he can understand a little better what Emet Selch meant when he said the darkness was not bad on his world, even if the very concept still makes Regis uneasy.]
