[ It must be a very different life, Daud realizes. He doesn’t remember what that’s like; he didn’t care to. And importantly, as she hears him and freezes, he notes how the reflexes are all still there. The same way his own will always be there, even as he resolved to turn away from Dunwall and all he’s built there. His Whalers - always his - will be fine. They’re good kids living in a harsh city. But they’ll be fine.
He waits for her to turn, looks for the expressions change.
He’s certainly surprised, to see her here. To see her, after he told her to leave.
But this meeting was solely on chance. Maybe that’s why he isn’t reacting more briskly, isn’t baring teeth or simply walking the other way, ignoring his betrayer. Maybe he’s just tired of it all; maybe he is in no position to hold grudges.
Maybe it’s the regret that will never be forgotten and forgiven.
His snort is dry and he shrugs, as if the fact she states isn’t at all that important. ] It isn’t important.
[ Because is his dictionary, if it wasn’t killing him, it wasn’t serious even if painful. So there. He lifts his head to the vessels docking and floating along the shining waters. ] Ships, huh.
