[Help. It's such a strange word to use, and yet in this case, he understands. Help, in the same way it's kinder to end the suffering of a wounded animal. In the same way that a small lie can be gentler than the truth. Yes, he does believe that may be so -- that he was, perhaps, able to help someone who was facing a more difficult fate. In some small way it makes him feel a little more at peace.]
I think so, too, [he says at last, voice quiet as he does. People like that, he imagines, don't look for death so easily. If the man had to go that far...maybe it really was a help.
He remains quiet as her magic works. Until the Champions lent him their abilities, he had never had any magic of his own, and he always imagined it to be such a difficult, unwieldy thing. Princess Zelda seemed to find it that way, at least, and so whenever someone else was using magic, particularly for his sake, he tended to fall into an anticipatory silence. Mipha had teased him a bit about it, had said that he didn't have to worry about her ability to concentrate...
Ah-- it does feel strange, though. The way your body repairs itself at high speed.
I think it is. [There's a word for it, after all -- closure, yes? He doesn't even know the man's name. It would be nice, someday, to learn more about him...and what happened.]

He thinks a moment on Naminé's words. If that's what you want to do. It's true that death seems to be something people come back from, here...that may be its own particular type of unsettling, but it does open the opportunity.]
