Let's say that you were once a soldier. A good one, competent but you didn't enjoy it. You have a group of people that you...live with and you'd do anything for

You fight to defend those you love. There is no other option.

[halfherfather]

Love...yes. Defend them. That's the first priority. If I die...that's secondary.

[urbandev]

Let me ask this - what are the best and worst case scenarios for each?

[halfherfather]

Best...I defeat the monster or at least drive him back. Worst, I die.

[urbandev]

And if you don't fight?

[halfherfather]

...We all die. The people I'm protecting, I mean. Or we run and our home gets destroyed.

[urbandev]

Well then -- you have to calculate the risk; if it's worth it. Only you can do that.

[halfherfather]

Yes, I know... It's worth it. ...I'll fight.

[urbandev]

I'm glad to hear that, I admit it.

[halfherfather]

I'm frightened, I won't lie, but I know I must do this.

[urbandev]

It's natural to be afraid. I'd worry more if you weren't.

[halfherfather]

Yes...I know it is. But. I will face this and. That's all that matters.

[urbandev]

You'll be alright.

[halfherfather]

...I hope so.

[urbandev]

I'm sure of it.
