[It's all a lot right now: but it's the look of genuine empathy and Solus's gentle words that get tears to suddenly well thickly in Tyler's eyes, and he looks away quickly to try and save face, clenching his jaw to try and keep them from spilling over.
It takes him more than a few seconds to calm down enough to feel comfortable looking directly into the camera again; but he hasn't actually wiped them away, he just sort of brute forced not crying.]
My earlier assessment of you reminding us of a Keeper isn't inaccurate, but it... takes a different angle now. For the ones who get kidnapped and tempered, and don't escape, eventually they become fully realised Lords themselves and perpetuate the cycle. While it's much of a muchness in the grand scheme, it does change what exactly I see you as.
[Still cruel, and manipulative, but pitiable for all of it.]
