"Better not call me that or you'll get some funny looks," he tells him, but his heart and his mind, as always, are set at ease by Jamie's confidence. He wants to take his hand, to get comfort from him that way, but he doesn't. He can't.
Instead, he walks, taking the path down to where Jessamine and the rest of the men are waiting. They draw their swords when they see Jamie, but Corvo waves a hand.
"Empress," he says, giving her a quick bow and she places a gentle hand on his cheek.
"Corvo. I knew you'd succeed. No one else would, but - what happened to my city?"
"Corvo made sure all the bad guys died." Emily pipes up and Corvo looks away.
"There's more to tell you," he answers instead. "Once you're safe inside. We've brought Havelock, Jamie and I, who has - helped me." He gestures to the man behind him and several of the men race back down where the two men had stood, where Havelock's body lies.
