[His brow furrows at that remark. He finds it hard to imagine that it is meant for him and not meant to soothe her own grief for her Kouka Kingdom. He can't say that from his perspective now that he can completely empathize with her feeling, but his brush with fears of mortality is enough. He remembers the feelings of unease and anxiety that death once inspired within him, and it's easy to see similar feelings stirring within her at the thought of everything being erased.]
Idiot. [He still clearly means to say what he says. He also still is not particularly soft. But it is with infinitely less vitriol and disdain than before that he calls her an idiot.] I knew even when I sat upon my throne that Uruk would begin to fall upon my death and it did. The Kingdom of Uruk that I knew was beautiful and mighty, but it has not existed for thousands of years.
[Not that it's her fault for not knowing that. Not like he mentioned being hella dead or anything up until this point. But she's still an idiot, ok.]
I could mourn for it, but what is the point in that? It's the natural order of things with humanity that nothing lasts forever. [He smiles as though remembering an old joke.] But what you humans always seem to fail to notice in your struggles to avoid these inevitable ends is those are the moments in which you grow and something better takes its place.
[The gods failed to learn that and look at them now.]
Your Kouka Kingdom may be completely wiped from existence, but so long as you are alive and continue to struggle, something better will come from its passing. Don't forget that, you fool.
