Everyone makes mistakes. While Ysayle's story doesn't make Alisaie sympathetic to her situation, she does understand there are times when people have a change of heart and mind. She doesn't have the right to judge anyone, given her situation.

Of course, Alisaie hasn't done anything close to what Ysayle has done, in terms of having that much blood on her hands. However, it isn't as if the Scions were clean of their own blood-stained hands. Alisaie still hated playing the game of politics with others, but she's learned to hold her tongue long enough to take it to the battlefield. If the situation with Ga Bu has done anything, it has opened her eyes to other possibilities. The reality of not being able to save everyone no matter how hard one tries.

That's something she'll have to get used to swallowing. She doesn't offer Ysayle any of her thoughts, but she understands that Ysayle is trying her way. The best way to observe someone is by their actions. She'll see how their new companion will be in the future. Mayhap she will truly atone for all her past grievances, or mayhap, she might turn on them. Only time will tell. The Crystal Braves were already a dark reminder.

"I can only-- hope so. He still has yet to speak."

She frowned more, as she looked deeper into the cup in her hand. She knows better than anyone that silence and grief aren't the only things that have caused Ga Bu distressed. She's sure there are many more things that she can't read into now.

"Worry not, Ysayle, I won't give up until I've found a way to save him."

Him and anyone else that may be in his position.
