For a moment Agrias panics when she hears Ovelia begin to slip, but the princess manages to right herself, and she breathes a sigh of relief. Once she is certain Ovelia has found her footing again, she resumes. The top of the crater is not far now.
"Sundered? That seems...too large a problem to...solve with a sword alone." She admits. Agrias does not regret choosing the life of a knight, but it also means she knows little outside of it. A sword can protect, can be used to slay evil, but to put back together a broken world? She's not sure how useful that will be. But Ovelia's confidence in her ability to help buoys her own. "But perhaps we are...not alone in this."
She reaches the rim of the crater, and hauls herself up over the edge, quickly scrambling to her feet, and giving a quick pat-down to dislodge any excess dirt or sand. Kneeling down by the rim, she lowers her hand for Ovelia to take; there is no need for her to make the rest of the climb unaided.
The Glabados Church may be weakened and leaderless currently, but it will not remain so, and Agrias is still not sure about Delita or his intentions towards the princess, but Ovelia seems to put some stock in him, so she will extend him a small benefit of the doubt. Especially if doing so will allow her the chance to serve her lady openly and with pride once again. But the Church is powerful yet, and will be bloody-minded in its vengeance against those who foiled its grand plans for the new Zodiac Braves, and not even a King may supersede the will of "God" in some matters. But she will hold onto this hope, that she might remain her princess' knight.
"I know you will, Your Highness." She smiles down at the other woman. "But in the meantime, if my name be slandered across Ivalice it matters little to me, for yours is the faith I cherish most of all. As long as I have that, I need naught else."
