[ admittedly, the first part makes him smile, a little knowingly. ]
I know. [ that he's an optimist. ] It's one of the things I like about you. It shines through more than you think.
[ it's something they have in common, really. it's a little harder to keep a hold of it right now, but taair's never let the light of hope go out entirely, and it doesn't go out now, either. his hope for iria remains as strong as ever - he looks at the hand taken and after a moment gives his a little squeeze. ]
I hope that it will be better for you and for your homeland, alike. I want that for you so very much, my friend.
I suppose my freedom and Iria's peace could go hand in hand, but... it depends on how things go.
[ the most likely scenario is that iria achieves it because he's assassinated, actually, and it's kind of the one he's hoping for. lord let him return to heaven in like two days, actually. ]
Don't fret, though. There is no need to - I'll be alright, either way.
In the best case scenario, I will be able to abdicate, and explore Iria like I have always hoped to. [ so there's that. it's not quite an answer, but he does smile a little as he says it. ] And I can finish my book.

I'll return your earlier question, do you think things will get better for you?
