[Dion offers an awkward smile at that. Really, there's something quite bittersweet about the ol' bard songs about him, when such accomplishments mean little more than a grim reminder of days long lost after what harm he's caused. None of this is known by his company, of course, and he does not intend to inform him unless pressed.
He isn't hiding his sins, he just doesn't want to burden the man with them.
As they settle into their seats, and Ramuh takes to ordering for him (not that he minds, really), he looks to the plum wine with curiosity. He cannot say he's had it before, but he's full eager to give it a try.
As Ramuh says the cheer in his honor, he cannot help that niggling feeling of guilt and discomfort, but above all the bittersweet feeling it all leaves him with. Partially because he feels guilty to drink to a death he doesn't believe he's claimed, but this is simpler.]
Indeed, to a brighter future for those we've left behind, and to those who have given their lives to achieve it.
[He says in a tone that sounds as conflicted as it does performative. Though there's certainly a level of performance in a lot of what he does, so it's hard to know if this is especially telling or not.
Either way, with the toast finished, he takes a drink of his wine. He certainly feels he needs it.]
