Once again, she surprises him. Sylvain isn't sure which hits him harder- the fact that she's being so open or the thought that she thinks of herself such a way. That such a lovely thing, a symbol to her people and a true hero, could feel the same way he does.
Then again, maybe it isn't so surprising. "Of course you know yourself best, but I still don't quite believe that is true." He hums thoughtfully. "Perhaps the emptiness will fill, with time." He has to believe that's possible, for his own sense of hope, at least.
He shrugs a single shoulder. "Then again I always did prefer to see the pretty lies rather than the ugly truth." He flashes her a crooked smile, dimpling one side of his face and clearly far more honest than his usual expressions. It's gone a moment later, but his eyes still dance with private laughter.
