Halt was silent as she spoke, his eyes cast down towards the floor, listening to her. When she said "...If one of us dies." She may have been referring to both her and himself, but he immediately though that she was referring to herself, and the poison that was within her. 'I wish she didn't speak like that.' he thought to himself.

When she then asked where Merion was, he quietly said, "He should be at my old home...studying up on the ancient language."

She then asked if he needed anything... he didn't really... he was comfortable for the moment. But what she said earlier jumped back into his mind. "Yea...there is one thing...."

He turned his head to look into her eyes... "Just... promise me that you will never think 'IF we die' We wont die... I wont let you, or Merion. We are going to live long after we 'should' have died..." after watching her eyes for a few minutes longer he finally looked away and towards the ground.
