[ The hope isn't false, Claire is holding onto it too, hoping that one day she'll visit the Horizon or go to Nocwich only to see Jamie waiting for her. It's a dream she had for twenty years, and one she'll keep having until they're together again. ]
I very much want you to be right. We've been through more than our share of loss, both together and apart. All that we've wanted is to live a quiet life no duties to the crown or oaths. But it seems someone always has another war in mind, another grab for land or power.
[ Shaking her head, she manages a smile again. ]
It's always been that way, we're just on the ride-along this go 'round. And perhaps between those of us who are likeminded, we can spread a little hope and kindness.
[ he chuckles a little at that, if only because she says i very much want you to be right. he does believe it, that he will be right and that she will find her husband in the end. and he believes it so much that when she looks back to him, he is merely holding up his cup of lemonade. ]
If there's one thing I know about humanity, it's that there's always another war. But- people who are meant to be together always find each other in the end. And from what you've told me, you and your husband are gonna be those people. Just hope it doesn't take too long.
[ whether or not she cheers' him back, he'll take a sip. let that sit for a few moments. sit back up again after those few moments have passed. ]
But you are right- there's not enough of us around. Hope and kindness...I mean, we've been dropped in the middle of a freaking battleground to decide who is gonna be at war. I'll take all the help I can get, at this point. If you're offering it.
[ Claire does indeed return the cheers, smiling at him before taking a long sip. She'll toast to that, though Jamie's taking his sweet time, now.]
I'm always happy to help with whatever I can, when I can. It might help to coordinate if it's possible, though with not being able to get to one another in person easily, a real-life scenario might be more difficult.
[ Between the two of them, though, she's sure they could work something out hastily if needed. ]
