Maudit reels from Evangeline's words. G'leo's approach and distraction prove quite welcome as he tries to compose himself.
Each word against the Order was a barb in his skin and his expression darkened. It wasn't anger that raced through him, but concern. His time with the Order had been brief but in that time the focus had been largely internal. He knew the warriors of the order could protect the bodies of those in need, but their souls? His gaze dropped and he studied the dirt at his feet.
"Forgive me, Miss Primrose. But you speak as though you and are in some manner of adversarial position and I don't believe that is the case. Eorzea needs us both. Men like me to safeguard the peoples lives, women like you to make sure those lives are well lived."
He looks up at her, "I am sorry you have been troubled so." He bows slightly. "But please remember that we aid one another, even though we may never see one another again. That there is a woman of integrity and conviction doing her utmost for the welfare of those most in need... it can only but make dark moments a little less so."
He bows slightly, clearly a gesture that he intends to leave now. He bows as well to G'leo and offers him a polite, "Live well, friend."
