[ it makes him feel profoundly sick, for a handful of moments
getting a message like this from someone he knows
yet he doesn't, at the same time
he's seen what shroud is capable of, so there isn't a moment that he doubts that the white-cloaked man can accomplish what he's promising here, but there's that hundred-year-old instinct to prevent death that rears up in his head
along with the instinctual desire to protect his own kind

and it takes another dozen moments for him to stomp the feeling down flat long enough so he can rationalize an answer that isn't a shotgun spray of misaligned emotions.

he knows
he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows, he knows so profoundly what the right answer is. He's known for a long time. ]
