[ As much as Thancred would like to ensure Himeka that he won't worry over her given whose company she must share, it would be a lie, and he owes her the truth. ]
Promise me this. If the situation changes and he crosses any lines, let me know. I will find a way to cross the border and come to your aid.
[ Even if that mainly just consists of punching Emet-Selch in the face. He would relish the opportunity. ]
[ Will she also try and address it herself? Yes, that's also very probable. But she does her best to keep her promises all the same. ]

[ Notably she's left him to his own devices. Now is not the time to share that she has sought out his company purposefully before this. He has been a helpful, if grumbling companion from time to time. In particular his knowledge of the shards and calamities was information she needed, even if that became a dead end. ]
[ It may have been for the best if Thancred had not asked Himeka this question at all, if he'd simply sought out Emet-Selch on his own. The Ascian is not someone who's particularly easy to miss, though he does so enjoy shirking duties and napping instead of participating in much of anything.
Still, Thancred's already shown Himeka his hand. At this point he may as well be truthful about it. ]
I won't make a scene, don't worry. I would like to establish where we stand, however, and to do so with my memories intact.
[ So he wants to even the playing field. Not something easily done with Emet-Selch even without the, term, tension between the two of them. But Himeka won't stick her nose into that. ]
[ Baffled as Thancred may be about Himeka's relationship with Emet-Selch and how she seems to always give him the benefit of the doubt, he at least understands now that it's complicated, given everything to do with her past life as Azem. He won't push her on it, particularly given that she's never questioned his own inability to forgive the Ascian. ]
In the meantime, we should both endeavor to enjoy aught else the summit has to offer.
