[ he can't see her face but he can guess from her posture - - and the general tone of the conversation thus far - - what is going in. automatically a distaste wells up within him, an ugly and long-standing bitterness that overrides any sympathy he might have had for her in this moment.
she died, but he was forced to live and suffer for two thousand years of imprisonment. she hardly deserves to feel sorry for herself, he thinks. what could she possibly be crying over?

She startles and shudders at the sharp sound of his voice, but manages a nod, still without looking round. She's not exactly in a state to speak - or think proper, for that matter. All that there is right now is grief and despair.
Perhaps it would have been better if she'd stayed dead, whether back in their world or here when Ardyn first killed her.]
[ Aera being dead would solve a lot of his problems at the moment! he doesn't waste any further time - - he scoffs, something that might even sound petulant, before he turns to leave her be.
in some ways it might be a mercy, not further berating her. he's being nice? ]
