He got Janquiri to settle down enough to follow him up to the room that he, she, and Tahir (If I remember correctly) would be sharing for the day and night. He made sure she went up first, because he was genuinely concerned that she might sneak back down if he went first.<br/><br/>Once the door was unlocked and opened, and they were inside, he shut it. He sat down on the edge of one of the beds, and placed his staff to the side, leaning it against the wall. He looked to her, making eye contact if she was comfortable with it; if not, he would just look in her direction.  He was not sure if eye contact would be upsetting for her, but he was concerned for her, and did not want to make her suffer any more than she already was.<br/><br/>Consequently, when he speaks, he is quite a bit calmer about it; not as firm as he was downstairs, when he stopped her from taking vengeance against her father. "I can understand that that man has wronged you; as have many men. Because of people, you have suffered greatly. It makes sense to me, that you would in turn want to make them suffer. That is the tendency of this world. If you believe it is the correct action to take, I will not stop you. What I will say, however, is that there is a time and a place for everything, and that now is neither the time, nor the place."<br/><br/>"If you had killed that man down in the bar, you would have met your death as well. We would have met our deaths, or at the very least arrests, for being associated with you. I can understand your feelings, at least to some degree... I still have nightmares about the night my family was killed, and still find myself wanting to subject those humans to death by stoning, for them to understand the pain they have created. I can not forgive them... I do not know if I ever will."<br/><br/>There was a pause, but only so that he could breathe. "I am not going to ask you to forgive him. Forgiveness is something that only that who must receive it, can ask for, and its price must be paid in full before forgiveness can be given. That is how I see things, at any rate. And if that man will not seek absolution for his crimes, then I acknowledge that killing him may be the best, because in doing so, we may spare others suffering. But<strong>when</strong>we strike,<strong>where</strong>we strike,<strong> how</strong>we strike,<span class="bbc_u"><strong>if</strong></span>we strike... these things must be planned accordingly. We must be certain of our actions, our reasons. If we act blindly, we will only create more suffering in this world, and there is already far too much of that."<br/><br/>"I hope you understand what I am saying. I will not ask you to agree with me, because in the end,<em>we will all hang from a rope of our own making</em>. All that I ask is you take a moment's time to consider what I have said." And with this, he would become quiet.
