Overwhelmed is the word. His gaze turns from the mending lake and forest to look back to Galo as he speaks. Those tears are still gathering, but despite the tears, despite everything, he smiles at Galo -- really, genuinely smiles at him, bright and soft, the first time he's shown that expression to Galo. Or to anyone erally, in a very long time.
"We'll put things right. For the dragons. And the forest. And humans too." The balance will soothe them all. And Lio has never been about vengeance or turning their anger on humanity. He just wants his people to be able to live without fear, without hiding.
Lio sets a hand against his own chest. No, he won't be alone again. He can feel Galo's flame dancing intertwined with his own. "Neither will you. If you call, I will come. Always."
