[she seems a little bashful at the surprise, and then hesitant, before deciding that... well, if they've all been this honest with her so far...]

... Maybe I should tell you a bit about myself. I'm the Acting Fief Lord over an area called Armelia. At present, there is a succession battle for the throne at the kingdom, and growing tensions with another country to the North. Many times, I've had to think 'what will I do if my people might be put in harm's way, and war comes knocking at my door even if I want peace more than anything else?'

It's a little similar. Murder has come, and even with the news we've received this past weekend, we are losing our loved ones.

At home, I decided that I would avoid violence as long as I could - but I would also do anything to protect my people. Your sentiments are similar, aren't they? To help, rather than to harm.

So... that is my long answer about why I cannot, and will not, condemn you. I know it's a scary, terrible decision to make in the first place - but it's also one I understand.

[she's not eager for murder - there isn't a hint of bloodlust in her feelings. she's just a wildly protective, wildly cautious person who doesn't want to lose anyone.]
