Amorette... that's the second time Lilja has mentioned the name. Friends, mayhap? They sound close. He hopes he will learn more in time.

Rhea'li's face is bare, having removed his mask earlier, so he nods at her query in reassurance.

"Then let the deal be done. Blood for energy." He's not certain how she intends to drink, but he will trust in her knowledge. Expression softening, he says quietly, "I'll not turn away while I have the power to help."

He was not always this way, but the tragedy of the Calamity changed him, and the burden of the mantle from thousands years promise ensured his change of heart stuck. Lilja is hurting before him, so he will not leave her to suffer alone.

He knows full well the consequences of loneliness.
