[It floors Urianger to receive such praise, and he almost shies away from it on principle.]
...Ne'er again did I expect to be called honorable after my time spent in the shadows.
[He mentioned something along those lines during the memory Ithaqua witnessed. About subterfuge no longer being necessary and how he wanted to support his friends by their sides.]
Until recently, I bore an incredible weight of guilt over my inability to do right by my friends. I lamented mine actions, for while I labored for the good of the star, I did so at the expense of those I held close. I colluded with our enemies, I held secrets, I made sacrifices that were not mine to make.
But no longer. I made this decision at the edge of existence with the fate of Etheirys at stake, as thou witnessed. I reiterated this decision to thee then, and I shall do so again now. [He gently rubs his thumb against Ithaqua's cheek.] I shall support thee with everything that I have, for as long as I have with thee.
[Then comes another big surprise: Ithaqua's true name. He repeats that whispered word, letting it settle and committing it to memory.]
Thy mother chose a fine name for thee. [...] This secret I believe I can make an exception for. I shall keep it close to my heart.
