He asks a fair question, whence last they met it was on opposing sides of the battlefield. A fight for Tellius, for humanity's right to live. Beorc and Laguz alike. Elincia herself has never really seen the need for division although she knows that has historically been an unpopular opinion.

"We may not have seen eye to eye in the past but... I hope your presence here is a sign your heart is healing."
