Roen parted her lips to say something, then stopped. She just stared at Daegsatz for a long moment, incredulous.
“For my own sake…?†she finally managed, clearly affronted.
It was obvious. She did not understand the smuggler, at all. Or at least...
There were so many sides to Nero that as he switched to whatever persona would dictate their interactions, it just left her in a dizzying spin. But if what Daegsatz’s had surmised was true, there was a part of Nero that actually cared about her welfare, not to mention her virtues--the very thing the smuggler had ridiculed and dismissed as impractical since the moment they had first met.
Roen found that hard to believe. And yet…
"...You can prove me wrong. Change Ul'dah from within. Change Ul'dah with the law on your side. Rub my face in the fact that I had drowned myself in darkness for no reason."
Perhaps…there was some truth to the Sea Wolf’s insight. Perhaps Nero was just pushing her away.
Roen found it infuriating, truth be told. “Does he expect to do all he hopes to do all by himself?†She threw her hands in the air, exasperated. “And I do not need saving. If he thinks me a helpless girl who cannot decide her own fate, well, he is grievously mistaken. I need not his misplaced chivalry.â€
Even though indignation fueled her sentiments, the paladin felt the shadows of uncertainty starting to diminish within her. She would not yet again let someone else dictate her path--especially not some arrogant pirate who thought he knew what was best for her!
