Internally I sigh and suppress the raging beast that wants to strike Jek down. I turn to him. "You are asking the wrong questions. This is not about caring about Herate more or Vapor being less important. We could storm the gates of Rish's mindscape and very possibly be wiped out in an instant. Your love for her is both commendable and noble. However, right now we need a plan. This land can be saved right now. The Fox can be dealt with immediately. The longer that we wait increases Rish's chances of giving us an opening. If she underestimates us our odds improve immeasurably. She is not omniscient despite what she pretends. Don't throw your life away. If you want to save her. Let Rish make a mistake. This Fox could make the difference. It is a piece that she won't expect."
