[They listen closely to that explanation while Cu works his magic. The entire room has filled itself with the sweet scent of lavender and it has been such a long time they've felt like this. Too relaxed to worry. But, on the other hand, relaxed enough to speak freely.]
I know how heavy that question is. The importance of these bonds are not unknown to me. The ones involved fall for one another and because of that their souls grow. Servants become living beings, freed from a contract that bound them to battles and grail wars.
[But those words sound sweet. To belong to one another, to stand at someone's side. To have a purpose again, wanting to grow further because of that. And truly, they wish they could just ask someone to be that person to them. But important vows had bound them to where they are now. And they just aren't suitable to become a witch.
Enkidu has never known that this particular servant was able to do something like this. Touches so soft that it sends shivers down their spine.]
That is a heavy question as well. [They shift a little when Cu touches their hair and brushes it aside.] And I cannot give you an answer. But I can tell you that when I felt myself falling apart in his arms a long time ago, I heard him tell me that no one else would ever be a friend to him except for me. I was worth that much to him. He is a king, yet he cried for me. [They gaze at their hand and the tiny cracks on their fingers.] Therefore I will not ever replace him. I will never soil those words or take them for granted.
[They can feel their chest ache while saying that. There is a reason why they don't speak about their past, about their death, about all that has been said.]
