[ hand still resting on his heart, he nods. it's just - it's cold, now. it's hard to explain. ]
I think... if we can defeat Sir Sazantos, then... it should return. The Accursed Flame should go out. [ he thinks. he hopes. it's hard to tell. ] I'm not sure if I will be able to carry the Flame, or if I will leave hell, but... if it gets free, then hopefully, another Flameguard will be able to someday wield it.
[ because he might be an optimist, but rondo's not entirely sure that he survived this endeavor. ]
...your friends were still with you, weren't they? All of those people who stood behind you. You're not alone in this. You may not know about the Flame, but you'll all get out together. With Sazantos defeated there wouldn't be a way to keep you there for much longer, would there?
They'll be able to defeat him. They likely already have, as I've been here. They are capable and brilliant, all of them. [ rondo loves the other guardians, who are very cool and honestly way more talented than he is at all things. shoutout to richard. anyway. ]
I just... [ ... ] ...well. If I found my way here, hopefully... that means I survived it, somehow. And if I didn't, then... at least Orsterra is safe. That's all I could ask for.
Hey. [just grabbing his hand.] ...we're here now, but we won't stay here. Even if your friends defeated him without you, and Orsterra is safe...it's all the more reason getting back is what matters. This feels like a dead end sometimes, but you're right. Being here means that you survived.
[she thinks back to the first conversation she ever had with rondo where he'd asked if she was alive. she's not sure if having the context now is better or worse.]
And surviving means being able to see tomorrow. A peaceful Orsterra. [...] And if for some reason the fight hasn't happened yet, or things aren't quite finished...it'll be a second chance. Going back stronger than ever.

ah. well. there's a long pause. ]
...It's the last thing that I remember before I woke up here.
[ so those implications!!! are not great!!! ]

...it isn't the end. Even if it feels wrong now. There has to be a way to get the flame back.
