<div style="text-align: justify;">Brietta noticed that Lizette wasn't really willing to fight. She listened to the other female's words and shook her head. She wouldn't talk down to Lizette for it, but she had to offer some correction to her views without saying anything bad. "We are werewolves, Lizette. Every fight that belongs to our brethren is our own. But I understand you. We will not look down upon you should you choose not to fight. You have done a lot already."<br/><br/>Brietta sighed softly when Lizette said she wasn't much help in a fight in her human form. "I am not a member of your pack, or your better in any way, sister. But I think you should consider at least being able to wield a simple weapon to defend yourself and others. You will not always be able to change, depending on where you are. And those who hunt us will hunt us anywhere."<br/><br/>Ian remained silent while the two girls spoke. He added his word afterwards.<br/><br/>"You do not have to listen to Brietta. Her vision is colored by the blood and pain she has seen recently. You do not have to stay and fight. But should they come to this place, you either fight or you run. You cannot stay here and not be expected to wield a weapon and get into combat. I have seen their raids, Lizette, before my eyes were blinded. I have seem how they spare none. No woman, no child. All the able bodied members have to fight, or see their loved ones be slaughtered. If you wish to stay alive to help the wounded, when the barbarians come, you take your path to the south, and climb on the third hill. You will be safe there. When the clashes of swords stop, you come back."<br/><br/>The man explained himself before Lizette felt shunned. "I am not casting you away, child. I am providing you with means to help the way you can do best." He motioned for Brietta to get up. "Get her a free pass badge, child." Brietta jumped from her seat and entered the room where Ian had picked up the dresses. She returned to the room and tied a badge on Lizette's arm. "This will give you a free pass. If asked, say Ian Fitzpatrick gave it to you, and they will let you pass."<br/><br/>Brietta was about to say something else when Ian lifted his head, seemingly hearing or smelling something. "The guard is taking their positions. It will soon be broad daylight. You rest, children. I will wake you when they come."</div>
