"Ah. That's rather... bittersweet, isn't it?" Glacius replies, tilting his head against Carlisle's hand as he tends to do when his partner caresses his scar. "Losing the Tear, I mean—but to a good cause. Certainly to a good cause, if it minimizes risk in unknown territory. Anyways. Of course we will hope against hope that you should never have to use the other, but that does not mean that it is not still a good idea to have a back up. If you get badly injured or end up suffering fatigue as dire as what plagued you after our doubles attacked, for example, then the Tear could help negate that. It is all about being prepared. One can never take too many precautions, especially not with the wellbeing of the one that they love."
