The water soaking into him wasn't comforting at all, the chill digging into his skull. He didn't know how to deal with this blow to everything he'd ever been taught. Joe's words, Zoranziel's words? They were shattering Ishvi's world more than anything else he'd learned in this place. There was a darkness pooling around his mind more than the surrounding night.
"I want to g-go home, not fight in the war." Ishvi was shivering, admitting more than he would've otherwise. He hadn't left to avoid the fighting, had always intended to go back. Even knowing what he knew now of other species, other demons, he'd have ignored his moral qualms to go back home, join the army, having proven himself. But with the outpost destroyed, he didn't want to get stuck in an eternal ultimately pointless war. He felt guilty about that though.
"Humans and elves - it doesn't matter with other species. They're already different. Angels fall, and it's wrong. Everything else is less. But if I don't fall.. I can be acceptable... But I wasn't there and better people died." His voice was blank through all of this, and he didn't move out of the water where he lay. In fact, Ishvi was shivering so much he wasn't sure he could move, and the numbness both physical and mental sapped any desire to try.

Sighing he'd crouch besides him, looping an arm around him, he'd lift him out of the water, "well, you can't stay down there, you're gonna freeze." His glowing energy wings would appear, giving them some light in the darkness, and giving Ishvi at least a bit of warmth for now.
