[... Well, the situation is dire. They spoke at length about the nature of happiness and attachment and while Alhaitham's not sure how much he inspires the former off the latter...
Alhaitham knows this isn't how he wants knowing Lobelia to end. Not when Lobelia has only begun to consider answers to questions that let him find achieve his potential.
Happiness is a temporary emotion. If Lobelia only made him happy those moments they came together over language and strategy, he wouldn't be here at all.]
Thank you. [Genuinely. Alhaitham knows his own limits in helping someone out of their mire. It's good that Lobelia isn't as alone as he believes.] I'll get something from him or Y'shtola today for keeping in touch.
I'll keep it in mind. [And try not to need it, because Lobelia is trusting him.
And there's not a thing in the world that can make up for it if Alhaitham fails him. So he won't. Simple as that. There are some mistakes you don't make twice.
He shifts a little, testing the ground under him.] I have one more question. You felt something missing as of today?
It seems the effects get more debilitating each time. [Though he'd say the pain touch was the most tolerable.] ... I wonder if this is a sign that the power behind this is growing stronger.

[And a little pause, considering, before offering:]
I'll look out for you, too. You should never hesitate to reach out to me.
[He doesn't know this man as well, but...anyone close to Lobelia outside of Ramuda seems like someone he'd be interested in, too.]

[He's just going to say that. Looking out for Lobelia...]
Hm? Yes. I couldn't smell my coffee this morning...I don't know what's going on. You?

I lost my ability to physically feel anything shortly after I awoke. [So they've both lost a particular sense, huh.]

[That's....problematic.]
