Also, I suspect that Rolas isn't the only Foxen in that room that's highly uncomfortable with the argument that sentient aliens have no rights and the laws don't apply to them, and that it's just that Reggie was given explicit orders and took to drinking to get his conscience to shut up...
And yeah, I think Reggie is wondering whether when he goes to see the Mother Goddess, whether he' end up being under a lump of snow in the COld and Dark.
Thinking a bit more on it (lousy habit of mine) I can't shake the feeling that one of the reasons for his outbursts to Rolas here is because he used the exact same arguments when he objected to his current orders before authority sternly told him this was necessary for The Good Of The Race -- and that if he insisted on refusing, they'd simply call in someone who wouldn't.

Yeah, the argument, "If not me, it might be someone worse" would work on poor Reggie. Until he realizes he is the Someone Worse.
