"It's not that bad." Knee jerk reaction on his part, because despite the loss of the Thunderhead, despite the crazy things that happen, despite the change in people compared to back home, a part of him still likes it. He's an outsider, yes. So much more than he wants to admit, at times. But he finds himself every so often slipping into the world of Mortality, thinking and feeling like they do.
The loss of Daine, for example, still weighs heavily on his mind. He's not thinking about her right now, but that's the first time he's really lost someone and felt it. Felt it with something other than anger and a vicious need for revenge.
"It's nothing like home, no, but it's... It's life, Citra."
Sure she understands. They both chose to be Scythes to keep the balance. He wanted to try to bring back just a sliver of what life meant in the Age of Mortality. Surely she understands that this, in some ways, is better. Is something good.
