[It's fine, he's not expecting any miracles. He does laugh quietly, though, shaking his head.]
No agenda. [Schemes and manipulations... truly, they bore him so much. He doesn't think she has any interest in hearing about his preferences, though, so he doesn't say that.] I don't want to be away from Iris for too long anyway. But if all goes well, we'll be going our separate ways tomorrow. It didn't feel right to leave without thanking you. That's all.
I think we're all a bit too stubborn to accept anything but the best outcome possible. I can only die so many times before it gets boring.
[Says the asshole who saved himself, but listen. It's fine.
And despite what he says, he's not endlessly optimistic or blind--he acknowledges the possibility of failure. He just also knows how passionate they all are about getting what they want, and... well. His alignment was never going to be Despair.]
