Clemente
While her words are undoubtedly comforting, Clem nevertheless shrugs his shoulders and twists up his nose. "Nah, 'sfine. Can't hurt me no more anyway." There's a gleam in his eyes, a stolid brightness that will never flicker out, as he stares out across the snow covered tundra and realizes it cannot hurt him anymore. Why worry about telling her these things when the scar doesn't twinge anymore? The Voice has taken away the pain from everything but the memories. And even that still fades over time.
Mageglass at least is something he knows. Nobody can seem to stop talking about it, especially in whispered myths around Halo's streets. Though Clem casts a doubtful look at Wessex as they crunch through the snow. "Ain't that for Abandoned people? Are we gonna sell it?" He's not sure how well that will go, it seems far too valuable for people to just barter for it. Bloodletting seems a more likely end.
Clem totters along behind the demigoddess, eyes scanning for rocks and kicking the tiny useless pebbles with his boots. "Yup, but we could still feel 'n grow old and have kids. But we had to drink human blood like, daily, like how others gotta eat. 'n it didn't cause pleasure." Which still makes him mildly queasy to think about much less say.

Your mother started drinking like the whole world died
And You've been waiting for a miracle all your life
And You've been waiting for a miracle all your life
