That's all he wants for his people, that feeling of safety at the end of the day. He's trying not to get his hopes up that there might be some actual hope for things changing. But Galo's determination is as infectious as the grins on his face.
Lio is quiet for a long moment. "There aren't many humans who are willing to fight this battle for us."
That's just the truth. The fact that Galo is willing to still help him at all, knowing what he is, is amazing. The fact that Galo is willing to take the matter to Kray Foresight directly, despite his history with the man is also amazing. Lio doesn't know what to make of it.
But he knows he will stand behind this man as much as Galo has done for him. Even before the encouragement of the forest. He nods, setting his hand on the stone, a brief flicker of his fire. Don't worry. This idiot healer is now under his protection. Anyone who thinks they can harm Galo Thymos will have to make it through Lio's claws and teeth.
"I will. I'll be there if anything goes wrong." And it will. Kray won't just surrender because of an appeal to his better angels.
