( elysia doesn't say anything for a while, because this is a far more delicate situation. poor mydeimos, she thinks. she may not know what a kremoan is, or what it means to be the demigod of strife - though the name says a lot by itself -, or even how heavy the burden of being amphoreus' guardian is, but... )
You really do remind me of a friend, you know. He would say the same thing to me. But you know, Mydeimos... I may not be familiar with your home, or your duties, but if there's something you're fighting to protect, then I know you're not a bad person. And anyone who's sacrificing himself to fight for something, or someone, deserves kindness and tenderness. Otherwise you wouldn't allow yourself to be where you are, right?
I see now why you and the Deliverer must get along. ( which is something of an answer to her question, while at the same time he knows he is avoiding any true response. he doesn't know how to respond to someone saying that he deserves kindness, tenderness of all things. ) You both concern yourselves with the wellbeing of others without a second thought, taking on those burdens as if they were your own. And yet I wonder if you are similar enough that you do it at the cost of your own desires.
It is not a weight you should add to your shoulders. Do not worry -- I am strong enough to carry it.
