[Time does, indeed, change everything. At least, that's what she's taking away from what he has to share with her. The more he says, the more she's inclined to agree with him. He's right, after all. Another person who's annoyingly right about things. She lingers on the concept of practicality and the idea that Beatrix is asking for next to nothing from those around her.
Including support. Not that she's ever made a habit of putting forth such requests.
At his question, he yanks her right back to the present moment and for some moments, she simply walks with him in silence. He's right. She does regret what happened in Burmecia, because the Beatrix she was at that time... is very much not the one walking with him now. It's a part of her, no doubt, but certainly not encompassing in any way.]
It is a difficult thing for me to explain and I am not certain that I can. I had information given to me here regarding how things will eventually occur in my world. Not necessarily about me, specifically, but the state of the world. The kingdom I serve. My queen. Her motives and the catalyst that set all of that into motion were a part of that conversation. I understand better now why things have happened the way they have.
[She shakes her head slowly.]
It is not something I would have uncovered back home until more damage was done. I also understand that the catalyst responsible for her motives was in part, responsible for my own behaviour. In this place, I do not have that working against me. As a result, I have clarity here. I am more in control of my mental faculties. It makes it significantly more convenient that I can reflect on my actions and experience regret.
