[ Break is listening as sharply as he can, since there's a lot of nuance here he knows he's missing. He can't see how Rhys's face shifts, but he can imagine it, and that's enough. But when he finally hears that quiet, flat voice, his worries at least face somewhat. If Rhys is angry, he'll be reckless and rash. Break knows that well, since ultimately, because the same held true for himself, that's why he was here. He nods, but though the answer to "why" isn't a surprise, he hopes that Rhys will be able to turn that into something more productive. ]

Leviathan mentioned it in passing. If there was another path before us, then I think you and I both would gladly take it.

[ Since there are so many unknowns here, and that's never sat well with Break. And yet— ]

But we have to save the people important to us.

[ and then rhys bounces!! Break looks like he wants to follow, but for now, he doesn't. Considering the axe that got put through Rhys's door, he knows he'll see him a bit later anyways. ]
