Still...! [The word comes out slightly strained, it was still a struggle for him to exert himself even as much as raising his voice a bit.
And yet. He's been on the first long enough to know how persistent it is to be rid of the primordial light. Many have tried, all have failed. Even returning the night sky through Rose's blessing wasn't enough to purge it, only to hide it. And at what cost but someone so dear to him?]
... You need not suffer in silence. Surely... there must be something that can be done. A Cleric of these woods may know of some remedy, perhaps the Exarch... [He may be listing options but he knows as well as anyone that the chances of anyone succeeding in this are low. Even after all this time he wasn't good at feigning optimism.]
[It comes out instinctively, and for a moment Rose forgets what their conversation is about. For all of Takame’s usual silence, he’s quite loud now. When she doesn’t want him to be. When he’s talking about something she doesn’t want to think about.]
[It’s not that she wants to become a Lightwarden...! She just doesn’t have a choice.]
Urianger seems to have an idea of how to counter it.
Mm. [He folded immediately, not wanting to cause Rose any more stress or pain than she already felt.
Kami, he'd caused her physical harm and now he was only making it worse. But still... still.]
He may know, but he has yet to share this information? [There's some bite to his tone. Why withhold something that could only be beneficial? He knows very little about Urianger, but if the man knew this was happening and cared as deeply for this shard and the Scions as he claimed, why stay silent?]
[Rose merely shakes her head. Trying to explain Urianger to others is difficult. Trying to understand Urianger herself is difficult. She still doesn’t fully trust him, truth be told.]
Yes, that’s what he claims, anyway. Urianger has always been enigmatic, and getting information of any sort out of him is a feat. Whatever he knows, he doesn’t feel the need to tell us.

[‘Or tell me.’]

You'll forgive me, I pray, but if that is the truth he does not sound like a trustworthy man.
no subject
You are correct, he is not.
[She’s not going to even bother mentioning the Warriors of Darkness incident. Takame might actually kill the man.]
