It's not as though he has anything to go off other than his own past experiences, and even those have become less reliable when faced with the pressure Horos (and the Regent) had placed on him.
But to say he had tears in his eyes? C'mon now. ]

[ His tone is as dry as the deserts around Mephorash, or whatever passes for one in these parts. It doesn't last very long though, his usual gravity returning to the situation. ]
Thanks, though. For returning it.
[ Even if he probably said that at the time (just without the tears). ]
