The man swallowed, slightly nervously. "I... see. But I can't, in good conscience, keep my men away, from where I know civilians are going to get hurt. They'll be in the area, ready to help evacuate people, but I'll encourage them not to fight. Not that I have as much influence as I'd like, over the entire guard, but I can at least have my men keep their heads down. I can't promise more than that."
