"---Very well."

Remaining in town is most suited to my skillset. There is no denying that, so on that front I agree with Mathiassen-san entirely.I am adept at killing, naturally, and dragons can die like any other creature. But in terms of direct application of my capabilities, remaining in Solitude is the wiser choice.

If that were my only concern, I would have no qualms with the decision.

---However.

I had pledged assistance to a crippled ally. Even if she does not understand why I had pledged such assistance, the fact still remains.

Despite the fact that I am well aware my skillset is best suited to going to Solitude, I cannot help the twinge of concern I feel regardless. It is my duty to ensure that my allies survive in order to fulfill their duties, and operate as close to full capability as they can for the same end.

I will not protest. Mathiassen-san's decision is perfectly sound.

---But I do not feel altogether comfortable with it, regardless. I will not allow such feelings to be displayed. My personal feelings are of little consequence in the fact of our objectives.
