[ He hums in understanding. He hasn't been around nearly as long as Hwylryn, but he has suffered a great many losses in the past three years. They've all felt similar, it's true. ]
Was it satisfying, then? To execute the man responsible for murdering someone you were so fond of?
( That earns a pause as he seems to - smile, a little conflicted. )
... In the moment.
( He'll confess that much. It's not something he's said to many, out of consideration for most humans' sensibility. )
It always feels at least a little good in the moment. But... it doesn't stay that way. Sometimes it only feels good for that single moment, and not a moment more.
( He brushes some dirt from his hair... )
... It's frustrating. I wish... it did.
( Or maybe he just wishes none of this loss had to happen in the first place. )
Mm. Well, of course revenge can't undo what's already been done.
[ That much he understands. An eye for an eye is satisfying, but it doesn't undercut the rage of having been wronged in the first place. That never dies out, he doesn't think. ]
Do you wish that Ish hadn't chosen you? Perhaps that single moment was worth the trouble.

... I don't know.
( Not a satisfying answer, but a genuine one. )
... I've never been good at mulling over the past. I think, and I think, but I can never find an answer on how I feel. Do you ever have better luck?
