[ Thancred's scoff immediately devolves into a mirthless laugh as he shakes his head. ]

He was far past the point of reason. I was mainly concerned about putting myself between him and my friends. [ In one occasion Thancred had come dangerously close to losing his life in the process, but he skims over that, seeing it as little more than a footnote by now. It's not even the most recent example of him having a near-death experience. ]

Himeka was the one who put him down, in the end. [ While Thancred doesn't know if the two have ever met here, Stephen knows her name well by now. She'd come up often during their trip months back, and since.

As for Ran'jit, when someone is that far gone there's often no other option. Stephen seems to have learned that lesson as well. Taking life is never pleasant, but sometimes you're left with little choice. ]

Let's end off on a brighter note, though, shall we? [ He raises his glass. ] You survived your experiences, traveling to other planes and meeting your darker self and aught else that took place, to return back here. [ For better or worse, but it isn't all bad, is it? They have each other, they have these moments. Thancred would like to hope that's worth something. ]
