I'm not saying you should. If I thought you would, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation.

Look, I'm not going to pretend like I know the whole story, or that I get all of this, because I don't. I don't know what happened, or how you froze anything, but with everything you've said I'm pretty damn sure you weren't trying to hurt your sister or anyone else. You didn't pull that trigger, at least not on purpose.

[The communicator picks up the odd footfall if you're listening close enough. He's pacing. He does that.]

Whether it was an accident, losing control, whatever, ... there's a lot of people out there who wouldn't do what you're doing to make sure that it doesn't happen again, so it's ... it's admirable of you. I mean that. But I don't know, this doesn't seem like much of a solution. If you can freeze a kingdom, their may not be a place you can go far enough away, and if there is, it doesn't seem right to me that someone doing something that selfless should have to go there.

If you think I'm some kind of idiot, that's fine, I've been called a lot worse, usually while people are trying to kill me. I just can't help but think there has to be a better way to do this, one that might not mean leaving everything behind with no guarantee that it's going to make any kind of difference.

[There's a pause.]

I'm sorry. That was ... that sounded just a bit too clinical, and it probably didn't make you feel any better about this whole thing. What I'm trying to say I like to believe there's some kind of justice in things, and ... this just doesn't sit right with me. You're not a monster. You seem like a decent person who's stuck in a crappy situation, and it might end up getting a whole lot more unpleasant for you one way or the other, and you don't deserve that from everything I've seen.
