Bahir pulls Lava across to himself. "You're not going anywhere. For one thing, you can tell us about your father and if he has any weaknesses we should know about. For another, if you leave, you're dead. And I don't want to see the blood of a child spilled when I can prevent it!" he exclaims, raising one paw and placing it atop Lava's chest, pinning him down to the floor. With him sorted out, he turns back to Verona with a pleading look. "Please let them help you, Verona. You're in a very bad condition, and they know what they're doing. Just let them do what they can for you, it'll be easier that way."
