[The harsh tone causes Regis to flinch a little but it's quickly assuaged by what Cor says next.]
β¦Youβre right. [He admits with a half-hearted smile as he gives Corβs hand a little squeeze.] Clarus would surely raise hell if he ever heard me talking like this.
He took pride in his duty above all things else.
[Regis falls quiet for a moment when a waitress appears with their drinks. He gives the woman a faint smile as he takes his cup. The familiar relaxing scent of coffee is oddly reassuring. It reminds him that heβs alive despite all the violence done against him. He stares down at his cup for a moment before taking a tentative sip. The coffee here is good. Not as good as Lucian brews but good enough.]
Even so, I find myself balking at the thought of Clarus being gone forever.
[He lets out a sigh before taking another sip. Itβs almost as if heβs trying to fill the metaphorical hole in his heart with something warm.]

I certainly hope Gladiolus and Iris are well.
