Hythlodaeus nods slowly, eyes dropping to his food briefly. "Aye, I would. And I can tell you that I am from further on in time than he is... I have been freed from Zodiark."
He doesn't know what Cid knows about him, whether he knows that Hythlodaeus was sacrificed or not. But that's not really his point.
"I have yet to tell him. Both that Zodiark is no more, and that he perishes in his attempts to bring back the home and the people he loves so dearly. I feel... when we finally met in the lifestream, he had accepted it. But here, he is adamant. He still believes there is a chance. The prospect of snatching his hope from him so cruelly pains me."
Not to mention, this is an entirely different world with new opportunities. If Emet-Selch realises he failed in their home world, he may simply cling to the belief that this world will make all the difference. But Hythlodaeus fears driving him to such desperate measures. He worries for his friend above all else.
