I understand. I will not begrudge you this, for I know I would fight alongside my father no matter the cause, [ oh but does that not sound familiar, ] but never forget that even against the cruellest of the enemies, we should not forgo mercy.

[ Sometimes it's merciful and wise to kill, he will admit, but often it is a better choice to let live. ]

I am far from the battle, and I will not be drawn into it. But you have my thanks for the concern, we shall see each other next in good health.
