[If you're going to make me die. The phrasing makes Hythlodaeus feel a little sick to his stomach, but besides a brief wince he hides it. Instead, he chooses to focus on Amos' words.]

We can bring him back?

[That does change a lot. It feels less final like this, and more like his own sacrifice to Zodiark. Which- well, he never was brought back again, not until now, but they have the opportunity to do it this time. To bring someone back who chose to sacrifice themselves for the good of the rest. He ponders for a moment... and sighs. It's quite different when you're not the one making up your mind to end your own life. isn't it?]

I see... if you're sure we can bring him back... though I don't understand why you dislike this man so much.

[Amos' clinical approach isn't lost on Hythlodaeus, but he's a practical man himself... for the most part. Still, Dextera seemed to dislike Amos from the word go, even though the Archangel is right there calling for his death. Turning to Dextera, Hythlodaeus offers him a smile.]

You have my utmost respect. It isn't easy to make such a decision. Rest assured that we will do all in our power to make sure you come back safe and sound.

[The least he can do is be sure that Dextera knows he appreciates this.]
