"Hope is all that I have, but maybe it'll be strong enough." She shouldn't wish her beloved to be here. He would also hate it here, chafe at being taken, despise the entire situation. But she is a selfish, cowardly creature, and her heart longs for him, anyway. It felt too cruel, to be pulled away from their reunion, after a decade of waiting.
Unless that was his plan--But she can't think that. Not yet.
"I am...glad to hear that, then. If I am to suffer here alone, at least he will not suffer my absence. And he will not try anything foolish to recover me, or turn away from our mission." What would he do? What could he do? Well. It doesn't seem to matter. It's a relief to know that if she's going at this alone, then at least he won't be hurt in turn.
"Then they should be easy to spot. If I see them, I'll alert them that you're here, and see if I can seek you out, Sergeant Gadriel. It's been a pleasure." That may be...a mixed bag of truth, but it hadn't been as terrible as she'd feared. And hey, he hadn't thrown any peanuts at her after all. With that thought, she gives him a grateful nod, and turns to leave. Time to face this strange world.
