I am sure she appreciated hearing that— would be glad to know you are intending to see it through. She is very passionate about her cause.

[Petra's response is truly genuine, though her brow remains furrowed.]

And— I am glad to be hearing you do not hate her. Many do, and have the right to. I am understanding that. I used to think that I should be hating her, as well, because of her position... but she is not the one who killed my father, or took Brigid under the Empire's power.

[She is a person, more than the Empire she represents.]

I do not always agree with her methods, either, but... I believe she does not have as much choice as we might think. The Adrestian Empire is as divided within as Fodlan itself is.
