I do not know how your people are, but among my people, wounds of the mind are as serious as wounds of the body and the spirit. And I do not know you very well, and have spent little time with your people. I would prefer to take care of you, though meeting your mother might be useful for your treatment, later." She doesn't look like she wants to let him go, but she doesn't try to physically stop him.
