[He knows. He knows, and yet. If he's not forced into a corner, will he ever be ready? And what could push him there if not his fear of losing Luna? He's tried the slow way, the safe way. He's tried practice, he's tried patience, he's tried meditating and borrowed energy but with any attempt he makes on his own, all he finds is walls.
.....Walls?
Oh.
That's it. Walls.
If the cause of her death is some terrible mishap during the covenant, he need only reach her first, take the ring, and shield her from whatever danger is meant to take her away from him. The realization is like a wave crashing down on him, a combination of terror and... relief. That's his answer. That's his plan. It's so simple, but if the full power of the kings of Lucis can't save her, then what can? No, fate would never be so cruel. The Chosen and the Oracle are meant to work together and purify their star. He won't fail.
It's not quite resolve in his expression, as he lifts his head and considers her question. He's not there yet, he's not quite ready to act on it. But there is a shift, a realization and some measure of assurance that comes with it. A price to be paid is easier to swallow if he has a method with which to channel that power. Somnus could help with understanding and accepting the power of the ring, but this... there's only one person who knows how to shield a city from the devastation of war.]

...My dad. I can ask him, he'd know.
[He needs to learn how to power a Wall.]
