NPCDespite multiple wounds, Solomorne stands firm. The Proctor's eyes are burning bright, like he has gotten a second wind. "My squad is down. We need to regroup. Here's what we do: I go with you, and one of your retinue stays behind to take charge of the defence along with the surviving Arbitrators."
YOU[Whisper] "Solomorne, I am pleased that you wish to be close to me in battle, but why be so blatant about it?"
NPCSolomorne stills, his flinty gaze boring into you. Finally, he bites out, "I. Am. Just. Doing. My. Duty." Taking a breath, he adds quietly, "And I'm trying to protect you."
YOU[Laugh] "This competent warrior act is very sweet, but you're not hiding anything."
NPCSolomorne closes his eyes and lapses into silence as if he is praying. At last, he sighs. "Let's move out and kill someone already."

YOU[Gently touch Solomorne's shoulder] "You are wounded. You have lost your comrades. You should rest and let me take care of you. I will confront Sargona myself."
NPCSolomorne carefully but firmly removes your hand. "I am on a mission, and I may permit myself no respite. The criminal who took the Arbitrators' lives must be judged, and I am the only one who can do so." After catching his breath, he adds quietly, "And it is also my duty to protect you."

YOU"You'll soon see what I'm worth in a fight. I don't need protecting."
NPCSolomorne gives you a conciliatory nod. "Indeed. I believe you are the most dangerous, relentless, and ferocious creature on this ship. It will be my pleasure to see you triumph in battle."

YOU"I would feel safer dispatching the cornered pirate alongside my retinue."
NPC"Only one of your escort needs to be replaced. It is a minor permutation. Furthermore, I am responsible not only for Sargona's capture, but also for your survival."

YOU"Let us go together. We will surprise Sargona with a small army."
NPC"This will put us at a tactical disadvantage. The Heartless is still full of hostiles who will try to storm the bridge. We have to set up a defence at the elevator to avoid being shot in the back."

Ulfar"The lawkeeper's advice is sound, Aett-Vater. Whichever of your servants are sapped of their strength, leave them here. If there is need, I can pull the weight of two fighters, or five."
