Something like that…? That sounds annoying. Sylus looked pretty worried for the both of you.
[ The cadence more or less suggests that he finds it uncharacteristic behaviour and serves as a quiet opening for Lucien to elaborate, if he wants to. ]
No… I think that's exactly the impression he's going for. In fact, I'd suspect that he'd be happier if you stuck with your first read of him rather than the revised one.
… Yeah. Some people have a tendency to just do that, don't they. [ So dry, but also fond. ] Have you had a chance to talk to him about what you guys went through?
Really? Will you tell me what happened to you, then? [...] Though if you're truly uncomfortable with it, I don't wish to force you to relive your traumas.
[ The fact of the matter is that the worst case scenario literally didn't happen. Things could've gone so much worse, but they didn't, and that alone is what buoys him back to the surface. ]
I'll talk even if you don't feel comfortable sharing your own. I do wonder what's going to happen now that most of us have gone through the experience.
On the expedition, we watched everyone die except ourselves. The journey was a fool's errand from the start, but we had to choose to either give in to our anger or keep enduring.

I lived an entire life only to learn that people had been giving up their lives for nothing. Friends, family, acquaintances. It didn't and still doesn't matter to me what the village's reasons were for keeping everyone in the dark. [ … ] A few more years of this, and the entire village would've died out.
[ There is a reason why, despite all that he's willing to do for other people, he doesn't truly consider himself kind. And it's this. ]
They are very kind. But even if this wasn't it, I think most people have lines they would consider unforgivable. It's not strange that this happened to be yours.

Perhaps this is mean of me to say, but Sylus is a much kinder person than I had expected.
[*there is a bit of an overly positive interpretation of some things that happened maybe but also sylus was an mvp here]

[ Is this a compliment or a diss? Lucien can be the judge. ]
But… you should. When you get the chance. It helps in the way that no one else but the people who were with you would understand.

If you'd like to ask again, I've gone through character development and can answer you more honestly this time!

Well, I get angry when harm befalls innocents and the people I care about, of course.
