Hm... probably not in any sort of drastic way. I have responsibilities to fulfill, regardless of events that happened millions of years ago.
I suppose she'd be sad to know that I went back to my mother [not that he had much of a choice] but in the end, I'm still of the Kinnara clan. I can fight for the "whole" of something without caring for the individual pieces, and Airavata would understand that.
[there is a nod at that - it always comes down to responsibilities and duty, doesn't it]
Mm, I am sure that she would.
Regardless... if you are able to continue to find the pockets of happiness when they are made available to you, I would like to think that she would be happy with that.
At the very least, it is what I hope for. A kind future for yourself, and for your charge.
I said something similar to Minato. Things might get tiring, but it's a matter of waiting for the moments that make it worth it. Or, finding them ourselves.
All the more so for those of us with infinite lifespans—unlike humans, we have less of a notion of "making the most of our lives".

[he's not particularly surprised - what else can one do with the infinite expanse of time they've been given?
even so,]
Do you think that you will change the way that you were living from before this time?

[well. sort of. lune is pretty sure that he'll meet his end on a battlefield, and it won't be pretty or calm, but he won't say that out loud.]
But I think even moments like these - to be able to share with a friend - are enough for an old man like me.

People do tend to take them for granted.

... I hope that you are able to make your peace well enough, my friend.
Even if it may not be particularly comforting - I believe that you will continue to find those who will wish well for you.
At the very least, I will always be one of them.

I've come to terms with things, and I've learned to deal with the cards I'm dealt.
[he smiles.]
... And that is more than enough for me.
