[Jusis looks to Zhongli, silent for a moment. He's not one to speak of his past life, but....]
It may be an inconvenience and a little uncomfortable, but it's a road that's somewhat familiar to me. Once, I was Acting Duke of the Albarea House. That remembered experience has served me well in this life, and I'm willing to serve in that role again. I'd rather take it up than force someone else into it when they don't want it.
[Just a subtle way to say that he knows Zhongli has every right to take the helm as leader, but also understands that the older man doesn't want it. The reasons behind it aren't his business, and he won't ask. He gets the feeling Zhongli will simply change the topic if he did.
The sadness in Zhongli's eyes are seen by the blond. It's almost familiar. Jusis gives him a nod in acknowledgement.]
Of course, and I've monopolized enough of your time myself. Be safe on your way home.
