[Lif's gaze goes back to Hubert when he says that much; what a foolish man. Foolish, stupid, this utterly calculating man who has never once been held back by sentiment insists on thanking him. He's not sure why his chest feels tight, at that, but he lets Hubert leave without further input. Despite the fact that he has so many questions of his own, it all falls under the feelings he'll never acknowledge.
Lif waits. Waits until the footsteps are far enough away, before he lets out a humorless chuckle.]
...You sentimental fool. You knew it would be your downfall then, so why...
[But that's a question to never be acknowledged again.
Morning comes quickly enough, though it feels like an eternity for Lif; it helps that he never needs to sleep, but he's on his horse again like clockwork and they're out to fight again. It's going to be a grueling one, but Lif is prepared. He's always prepared, felling foe after foe and charging on in without regard for anything going on around him. He has to ensure that his enemies are defeated, and he has always been rewarded for going on ahead, after all.
However, he's lost track of some of the foes behind him, in the process. He had trusted that he could clear the way for everyone else and that they could pick off stragglers, but it does seem that there's an archer who's got Deadeye at the ready, and he's looking to get a clean blow in.

And Lif, at the moment, is none the wiser.]
