"...I am glad of it as well. Though I confess the circumstances of our reunion still confuse me." Agrias admits after a moment. It has been some time since their paths parted, and though the Lionsguard knight had never admitted it, she had feared that Ovelia's favour of her had cooled. That even were Agrias to return to her side, her lady would no longer wish her there.
But it seems she did not give Her Highness enough credit, as Ovelia finally moves to sit up, releasing her from her grip, and moving to sit up with her. "My lady, you already have your answer." She replies. "I gave it to you the day we parted ways." Never have her feet felt so leaden and sluggish as when she departed Ovelia in that ruin. Her resolve had been true, yet every step away from her felt heavy and slow. "The task is done, the Lucavi slain, and the Church's scheme put to an end. My path only ever leads back to your side, if you still wish it to." Of course, that she was now considered a heretic just as much as Ramza and the others presented certain difficulties in returning to the Princess—the Queen's—service. Agrias had intended to lie low for a time after escaping the collapse of Mullonde and figure out the best way to approach the situation, but abandoning Ovelia entirely? No. That was never an option.
Agrias continues to rise, patting down her trousers of excess dirt, then offering a gloved hand to Ovelia to help her to her feet. "But before aught else, we must needs find a way out of this crater. I think we shall have to climb, but if we take it slow and steady, I believe we can do it."
