On one hand, they would not be exposed to my sorrows. On the other, should misfortune befall them on my behalf without them knowing why, I do not think I could bear it.
Ah... I disagree that you would bring misfortune at all, but I can understand your concerns.
[ She squeezes his arm in a gesture of comfort. ]
Sometimes, saying the truth about yourself is the best course of action. It can hurt you if the person reacts poorly, but on the other hand you might someone really precious who would have no issue interacting with you even after learning of your past.
You can say that because you never knew me in life.
[ He's several hundred years older than she is after all, safe from his sorrow-bringing curse. Not that... she doesn't suffer her own tragedies and everything. ]
Your words are wise though. Wise, gentle. I hope that they are true as well.
I would say them again, even if I knew you. Over and over. I know of your history, Tristan.
[ History and fiction were things she did keep track of, whenever she talked with newcoming Servants at Chaldea, just so she could have more of an understanding about how they clicked and how she could aid them in case they needed it. Concealed names no longer being a requirement is a factor that she's pretty thankful for. ]
Not to sound arrogant, but I am confident my words are most likely true! Have faith in yourself!
Do not feel bad for your own shortcomings. If you recognize them, you will be able someday to overcome them. Even if it'll take a long time.
[ It's all she can suggest him. Because she was a weak Queen, she was executed. She's not going to repeat the same mistake, and let a fragile soul like Tristan hurt himself. ]

[ He nods. But he still has his doubts okay. Some people just gotta self-depreciate. ]
Of course. I apologize. That is... something I have been attempting to get better at.
[ And failing for years ]

[ He's just... already lived a life, and died, and now he's here. It seems it's hard for him to reconcile that. But he will keep trying. ]
I suppose it depends on how long we will be stuck here in this kind of life.

[ He was a fool who let an egg almost crystallize him without help and she was the one saving him. Gosh... ]
In a few weeks it would be a year already. Though the whims of fate are strong, I do expect us to remain here a good while longer!
no subject
[ Please don't remind him. As if he's not always a fool. ]
If we are to stay a good while longer, then I will indeed do my best to continue searching for a life that suits me.
[ He smiles at her. ]
I am glad to count you as my ally.
