Loss, unfortunately, was a normal part of life. So was sacrifice. The world in which Theo was born into as filled with such things. It was not uncommon to hear of another juvenile male to have lost their life coming into his own, nor was it that another laid down their life in protection of a village. Of course any that decided to leave the Wood are also considered as lost and are mourned... A notion that Theo, himself, did not always like to think of. However, it gave him a slightly different perspective - not that he didn't lament such things... Rather accepting what was done and stiving to ensure that such things have meaning.
"I had only paused to allow for questions, but if you so desire for me to continue..."
This was where he took his time, speaking instead of true story weaving. Theo made sure to include that the mage that had brought them there kept his identity unknown. However, the Viera spoke of the city that surrounded this version of the Crystal Tower, taking great care to speak of how the people had adapted and overcome the Flood of Light and the SinEaters that now plagued them all. He relayed the First's plight and how it related to their own, here on the Source. The necessity of it all.
Theo stopped there, though. He produced the soul vessel as he chanced to close the distance between them. "Alternatively, you may seek the truth of it all for yourself. If you wish, that is. Otherwise, I can continue speaking."
Again, he wanted top give the other a choice. Theo didn't want G'raha to feel pressured to take on the soul of the man dwelling within and all of the memories - good and bad. If G'raha did not want the additional burden, then so be it. The Crystal Exarch would trust Theo's judgement and this was what the Viera came up with.
"The soul of the man who made it all possible rests within here, G'raha Tia," he explained. "I did not break into this Crystal Tower, but rather... This served as a key."
G'raha Tia was smart. Theo had no doubt he would understand what the red mage was implying.
real life is definitely stupid
