[ Ah. So she isn't just another vision of a past he's cast aside. This wasn't the way he imagined meeting her again; honestly, he hadn't imagined meeting anyone again. He hadn't forgotten his promise to see her once he was crowned king and the church held it's anniversary celebration but it feels so foolish now. He was a fool then, wasn't he? To not see plain as day Edelgard's plan already in motion?
His gaze falls down to his feet as he considers what she says in silence. ...Worried. It strikes him strange to hear it come from her lips of all people. It was just a job back then for her, wasn't it, to worry about his safety? But she hadn't been in his employ for years and so her concern falls on deaf ears.
He doesn't believe it. Worry for a boy long since dead means nothing to him now. The man steps forward, eyes narrowed dangerously as he scrutinizes Rose. Despite her small stature, even more pronounced now with the few inches he's gained, she always held herself with such strength. Some things haven't changed, at least. ]

Worry instead for yourself.
