[Ugh, god, he didn't ask for this. He knows Sorey is giving him that look. And he's right, again. Dezel should be there for Rose if he's able. Almost dying might have saved him once, but turning into a drake and then being purified, only to ditch her again? It's too much.]

Damn it. [He lets out a huff.] We're going in circles... This is pointless.

[Sorey is asking him a huge favor. After Sorey let him die as he wanted, isn't that what Dezel owes him? Doesn't Dezel owe him the same courtesy?]

... If you're so determined to do this, then channel some of that into coming back when it's over.
