Celehar breathes in, then out again, his expression taking on a more meditative cast as he listens. He wasn't expecting much of an answer, in truth - his conversations with Sunny have thus far relied more on reading the boy's body language than his words, and given the fraught nature of the question he might have expected to do similarly now.

Instead, he finds himself letting the silence stretch not for the boy, but to ruminate on that answer. "You're right - if their word was ever in question, it's been proven fair now." Celehar didn't expect it to be a lie, but given the obstinance of some who made the long journey on their own...

"I am afraid the experience will be fraught, whatever path is taken. But..." he quiets again. "To act is no easy burden."
