[The reminder of what had happened before they met up makes a swell of deep melancholy rise up in him, like the upward pulse of an enormous creature moving its slow way miles below the surface. It wasn't real, but he still can't let the pain of it go.
Still, one thing becomes clear to him in this moment. He regards Kaveh's face with a relatively impassive look, the sharpness of his gaze due in part to how bright his eyes are. Without the tie of emotionshare, it would be extremely difficult to read what he's feeling by expression alone.
But the emotion behind it is a sort of morose apology, like he's witnessed something tragic that he knows he can't do anything about.]
You have been burdened with a tender heart.
[It's not a terrible thing to be empathetic. Humanity needs empathy to survive. But it's a weight, and that weight can be crushing, and he feels for Kaveh accordingly.]
