"What?" I give Regina a quizzical look. "Surely you jest. This is quite a dire situation and I must assure to your safety. I know your heart is in the right place but are you willing to put the lives of everyone else in jeopardy?" I pause for a moment and gesture to the chaos behind us. "If it's any consolation I will do everything I can to search for her but I can't do that until I can assure your safety. I beg of thee, reconsider your choice!"

My voice initially a low whisper is now booming bringing everyone's attention to us. I take a deep breath and calm down.

"This is a difficult choice. No one should force a mother to leave their child behind." Deliberately I place my hand on hers and look into her eyes. "That is why I have to ask you one more time. Do you wish to stay in the capital and risk your entire family and wait for Aegis, or do you want to ensure the survival of your family and leave Aegis to me?"

I pause and let my words sink in.

"I can't tell you the right thing to and my words may give you an unfavorable opinion of me. But remember this this decision is yours and yours alone. So what say you?"
