[Regis is unsure if their fates are out of their hands or not. With so many generations leading toward one thing, can one person at any one time really change so much? Even if he could would it be for better or worse? Would he just end up feeling as if he has placed more of burden on the shoulders of the one he never wanted any to rest on?]

I always say as long as one has done their best, they should not blame themselves for what comes after, but...it is so much harder to apply the same to myself.

[More than once Regis has found himself looking at things in a different way after listening to Pyra talk and this time is no different. With how much complicates their lives, she brings it back to simplicity, the core important fact of the matter. His expression softens into something grateful and honored all at once as she closes her eyes and gives him her own thanks.

Regis isn't used to being overwhelmed by this kind of emotion, but he cannot deny how good it makes him feel. When people ask him how he can be so kind and helpful when so much has been done to him, the answer is it's moments like this that make it all worthwhile.

Once she falls silent, he can't help but lean forward to place a gentle kiss to the top of her head.]

You are welcome; to you I also say thank you. We are both so lucky to have you as part of our family.

[ He is right to point out that it is easier to say than to do, to preach rather than to practice, especially in regards to oneself. He isn't the only one who struggles with allowing some patience for himself, or being kind to himself, but like-son-like-father.

She allows herself a small smile when he places a kiss upon her forehead.

Supporting each other through grief and stress, loving each other, lifting each other up-- that is what family is, too. He says he's the one that's grateful, and she cannot help but feel the same, even more than one moment ago when she had just thanked him...

She remains in the embrace for a few moments more, and then she pulls away just enough to look up at him. They can continue this-- a back and forth of thanks yous and gratefulness, but they can also take a moment to rest themselves. He must be tired, and what better way to pass some time than over a cup of floral tea? ​]

...How about some tea? [ A pause, then she adds: ] Father.
