Glacius watches Carlisle try to muster up strength on his behalf, only to have it all begin to crumble... also on his behalf. The clergyman has always seemed so timid, so frightful of any possible thing that could be his end no matter how big or small; now that he finally knows what will be his end, he is not scared of it so much for himself, but on behalf of his partner. It breaks the alien's heart.
"I can promise you that I will try," the ice alien rumbles, the sound so thick with emotion it almost consumes his words. He does not know how successful he will be, but it seems a pointless thing to bring up when this could be his Bondmate's dying request. He should honor it as best he can. "But I will also try to stop this. With all that I am. If it do not do everything in my power to save you, then not only will I not be able to live with myself, but I will not be the partner that you deserve... and I will not let you pass without getting everything good in life that you do deserve."
A pause, then Glacius huffs a mournful sigh, scooting a little bit closer to Carlisle so that he can thread his long fingers through the human's hair and tuck his head up under his curving chin. "I will continue to fight this. I might be scared, but I am... not ready to give up yet. For tonight, let us try to just... let ourselves feel what we need to feel. It is not wrong to be sad or scared—especially not with what we face now. But we will be together through it. Let us try to find some comfort in that, so that we may gather our strength for the challenges of the days that yet lay ahead."
