[ That's not even some kind of digging remark or a demand to put in more effort. It's a compliment because it's true and Yzak knows Dearka's potential is as limitless as his own. That's why he likes him, after all. And why he's bestowed with Yzak's affections.

But at least in Lucy's case ... she has the tiny sliver of comfort to have actually seen what happened, instead of like Brasov.
