Kagan laughed, not because it was funny but because of how unfunny it was. "I don't think he's powerful enough to hurt every elf. Only the king could do something like that. But he could definitely hurt you, and I would hate to have that happen." He reached out a hand and grasped her shoulder for a moment. "I want... I want to cut him down. And I feel like with what he's teaching you, you could do it. But she will never let you. Just like you'll never let her give in fully. You're both pulling in opposite directions..." He sighed. "I wish sometimes that there was a way to just have you. It's not that I can't like 'Goody', but the way she talks about Tannow is just sick." The orc stood up. "I don't believe in being careful anymore. I've been careful for too long. I want to tear him down, but I'll have to settle for escape. Even if it kills me."
