Even as Jalna pushed him back, Valis took firm hold of her hand.<br/>"I don't think you are fully aware of the situation. When Khaless brought you in the troops saw you. They know there are people around and are even now preparing for battle. If you don't cooperate, I won't be able to prevent bloodshed. You can't possibly wish your own people harmed, even if they defeat the orcs it will thwart all my efforts and my mission will be a failure." he paused and sighed, still not letting go of her. "I can't let you free for the same reason, not for a while at least. As long as they think you are my prisoner you are safe from them. If they see that change, they will attack you. If you won't change your mind about cooperating with me, the best I can do is leave you with Khaless, restrained until the time I can arrange your release. I'm sorry."<br/><br/>He took another deep breath and the magical glow on his hand appeared again, passing over to Jalna, the warmth of the healing magic comforting her and restoring another bit of her vitality.<br/>"This much of my Lady's mercy should keep you safe and give you enough strength to move, whatever your decision. I'm sorry but I can't spare more if you won't help me help you."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Valis will lay on hands another 9 points to heal Jalna. At this point she can either answer him and talk things over or she'll be kept as a prisoner with either orcs or her almost murderer as her captor.</div></div>
