... and I'll be sure to keep that promise of finding you too.

(There is no regret in his tone. Regrets are something he has plenty of but he wouldn't regret this however much part of him says he should knowing what he has to do as his life's work. He doesn't say any of it lightly though he's not certain on how long it might be knowing she has her mission there as well.

As himself he won't remotely change his mind on any of it. It would be unusual for him to do so even after he continues his shaky yet slowly mending relationship with Kaeya too.

He won't fall back on that promise even as he sees the light start to poke through the clouds from there; he may not say anything for the time being but he is not certain if he would be able to stop his building frustrations from exploding if she didn't trust him fully in his intent.

Feeling this way much to his flame filled hearts dismay and not shielding himself again in all of it would just have made him a liar about all of it down to his attraction being obvious. He isn't going to back down off it.

Hopefully he can keep certain patrons from stirring up problems with her too.)

I know.

[ Toward the beginning of this, she's sure she made her own promise, something about keeping a closer eye on him now that he'd build up a certain amount of vengeance.

Unlike him, though, she doesn't repeat it, the words held behind an icy cage.

She's too busy noticing, like him, the first light poking through the storm clouds, and with it comes the sinking feeling in her chest.

Just like that, the night is over. ]
