[When he hears that Revali recoils. For a moment he seems at a loss for words, conflicted feelings bubbling inside him. Second chance, huh. This is his second chance in life.
At times like these, that he's alive again seems like such a joke]
Hmph.
[He doesn't seem happy in the slightest, which makes his following words sound so strange:]
[Medli pulls from his tailfeathers, warning him to stop getting defensive. Complying because really, it's easier to just do that than to go against his own soul, he sighs]
You hardly can move on when there's something you still need to do. I had just finished my duty, and was prepared to move on and leave him alone.
[Any other time he would have said 'better than it should have', given who he was relying on, but...he can't be upset Hyrule was saved. He has to acknowledge that, really]
Not like anything matters anymore, does it? Someone who has been dead for a century cannot return home like nothing happened.
Do you really think people are just going to believe their deceased hero from a century ago has come back? That there won't be suspicion because that hero, rolemodel of adult and children, survived while most of the other Champions perished, and then returned only after everything had been solved?
[He's...pretty sure that'd beget suspicion. Revali is very proud, but curiously enough, his feelings are vulnerable. People he doesn't consider worthless are the ones who can truly hurt his ego and feelings -- and honestly, the entirety of Rito Village fits that.
The thought they may think he cowardly ditched his duties, that he had backed down and betrayed their hopes or crumbled under pressure and fled or something like that...it scares him. A lot]
Besides, even though it will always be my home, I'd be little more than a stranger. After the widespread destruction of the kingdom a century ago, there's one single place Ritos live. It'd be noticeable if a Rito nobody knows appears all of a sudden in the village.
[Everyone he knew is gone. Ritos aren't as long-lived as other races. There's literally no one left who met him. No family, no descendants, no friends. The thought of living somewhere else is daunting, too, because that village is his home and...well, it'd be really hard to not be there again. He doesn't want to go live somewhere else, he wants to be back home, but it's not that simple.
People believe what's in front of them. Do you think I honestly believed in spirits or the afterlife until it came barging into my front door? If you care enough you'll figure out something.
Unless you really just intend on moping until you die again.
[ It's a tough situation but Akira thinks there's no point in overthinking. Take advantage of what you have, full stop. ]

Better this than passing on, I suppose.
