Lucanis had every intention to go it alone for at least a little while. He knew how far he could push himself, how much he could take. He endured Spite before Davrin had started helping, he could endure on his own again.
Endure. Always the watch word. He did not respond to Davrin's comment, because Davrin simply did not understand. It helped his own anger, though. Let it burn rather than feel guilt over his own harsh words. Seeing Treviso again helped that, the sullen burn of anger and shame that took over everything else. That somehow he should have been better enough to stop this from happening to his city.
There was no ignoring the Crows, the eluvian was in the Cantori Diamond, shot through with thick tree-trunk like tentacles of blight like so many other buildings now. So the first words Lucanis did say to Davrin again was after hearing Teia call out to him. He held the bag he was carrying out to the Warden.
I did not expect Lucanis to just be SO FUCKING SAD.
