She listens, realizing how much he was able to empathize with her situation, to know that something horrible was to happen and being unsure if he succeeded in preventing it. She could not prevent the Radiance's infection, a thing before her birth, and her failure to do more than simply protect the dying kingdom were always on her mind. Though, she was grateful for the Knight, and learning to trust that they would do the impossible.
"It is." She nods in agreement, glancing away from him to the window for a moment. "Not knowing the outcome. Not understanding the implications of what remains." She pauses a moment, returning her gaze to him. "To not know the consequence of actions - it's difficult. I think often of what I could have done now, what more I could do. This place, despite it's own problems, gives me time to dwell on what could have been, what could be, and what my place is."
Which was the question: what was her place? Would the bugs understand her? Know she was the daughter of wyrm and spider? Would acknowledge the way to rebuild?
It was a terrible thing to want knowledge she could not have while she was here.
