Sion doesn't have an immediate response for that. Partly just due to, well, not being good at talking about these things, for all he's been trying lately for Ryner's sake. Then again... it does occur to Sion that the older members of his team, the ones he wouldn't want to unduly worry, aren't actually here right now.

So, what better opportunity to speak freely?

"And some might feel that they've done nothing to deserve living in such a peaceful land."

Where by 'some' he means 'himself'.

"To say nothing of having to endure far longer than one ever expected to."

He's tired of all this, of keeping up the pleasant facade, of all the endless trying. It just also isn't in his nature to simply give up, for better or worse.
