[Action]
Here I am. [There's a rueful smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.] And yet, I am left with nothing to say.
[Fortunately, he doesn't let that odd statement hang in the air for long.] I cannot tell you to not fight, because, despite my misgivings, it would be insincere. I cannot tell you [reaches out to lay a hand on Fou-Lu's cheek ] to not get hurt, because I know you will. I can't...even tell you I will fight alongside you.
[But he hadn't come to talk, really. Putting to words his reason seems futile; he knows Fou-Lu will survive this, knows that seeing him in person before the battle itself will have no impact on the outcome. He just....had to.]
