[color=ed1c24][i]This is a waste of time, this stubborn dog has made it very clear she won't lift a finger to help,[/i][/color] Novak thought as Lissa spoke her case. The Yaga was still quite unconvinced and still quite indifferent to his friends' plight.  Novak couldn't help but wonder, however, just how deep was her dedication to her goddess' tenets of callous non-intervention?  Would she be singing a different tune if the Krysa interrogators got hold of her?  Was all her talk about not fearing death just bravado, or did she really believe it?

The real question he wondered was this: was she a foolish sorceress yet to experience a real test of her faith, or was this the end result of someone who had already been thoroughly broken?

[color=ed1c24]"The right decision?"[/color] he asked angrily.  [color=ed1c24]"Helping them to starve out a caravan over the actions of one person is not a remotely right decision, especially when they have neither told us why they want us dead or made any offers of surrender!  Even if one among our number was guilty, do all of us deserve to suffer for it, especially if we have no idea as to their guilt?"[/color]  It was clear that this nihilistic witch was clearly getting on his nerves.

[color=ed1c24]"But yes, if I had solid proof of her guilt, I would confront her over it."[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"But you've posed a question to me, now let me pose one for you, Yaga,"[/color] he spoke, now somewhat calmed.  [color=ed1c24]"If, as you suggested, I were to betray my caravan and side with the Krysa, would you begrudge me for taking it to its logical conclusion and also telling them where and how to find [i]you[/i]?  Would you begrudge your goddess if they were at your door and it was [i]you[/i] that she refused to help deliver from the rat-folk?"[/color]
