Bethany looked at Anders for a long moment, taking in what he's saying to her. He's talking as if he is not going to make it through this -- and she knows that he's afraid that they aren't right, that what they've tried to put in place won't be enough.

She's not that sunshine girl through and through. She's seen too much to blindly promise him that he shouldn't say such things. Instead, she takes his hands again, looking at him seriously, "If something happens to you, I will find Kallian again, and I'll make sure she's taken care of. I was an awfully good little sister, so I think I can manage an older one."

See, she'll just make the promise without being asked.

He nods, gratitude in his eyes. One person he's saved, helping another. And maybe things will turn out all right. He doesn't believe it, but he can't definitively say it won't happen.

"Thank you." It needs to be spoken too. He gives her a weak, tight smile, and then looks off to the side before back at her. "I've... I've a few more people to speak with." To say farewells to. It's probably obvious enough without him saying it.

"I'll..." see you around? See you later? Both could be entirely wrong. Anders nods again for lack of other words and will part when she's said anything else she wants to.

"You are very welcome." She squeezed his hand, before nodding and letting him go. She paused, then stated simply, "I'll be by your tent later. They'll probably want someone to watch over you. But for now ... go. Say goodbye. I hope it won't be forever."

She'd pray for it, even, although she knows how little Anders believes in prayer.
