Chrom hesitated. Any hint of information immediately left him starved for more, and judging by the volley of questions from everyone else, he knew he wasn't the only one. The sage's vision had warned them of the danger of too much information without the wisdom to balance it out, so he was unsure if he should ask anything for himself. What was more, that wasn't the reason he'd agreed to the meeting.

So when Prajapati mentioned the people of Hera, that was when he jerked out of his quiet dilemma, and took a hasty step forward before reining himself in.

"Did they evacuate in time? What about Garland and Kurma and the others, did they manage to escape?" Chrom couldn't say he agreed with the emperor's decision to keep his people in the dark and let them meet their end ignorant of their fate, but he didn't believe he was their enemy. Not in the two-dimensional villain sort of way, anyhow. What was more, if he was the only one who could reset the loop, then they needed him no matter what their personal differences might be.
