It's not about who needs me more. Family doesn't work like that. You need me in different ways then Lymsleia does, and Lymsleia needs me in different ways then you do.
It's like.... hmm.... [he pauses for a moment, gathering his thoughts.] My parents. They didn't have to care for me as much as they did- I am a prince, afterall. Lymsleia was the heir to the throne, and after she was born she should have been their only concern. She would be the one everyone in our country looked to as queen, someday- It was their right to prioritize her over me.
But they didn't. They raised me as they always had, with love and kindness, giving me opportunities no one else even thought I deserved. They raised my sister and I as equally as possible, loving us both.
Lyon, too, was... a special case, I suppose. Father didn't have to take her in, but he did so, anyway. I guess what I am trying to say is, caring for people... family, close friends... they don't come with ranks of priority.

Am I making any sense?
