Cyril nodded again, accepting that. He did move forward this time, though, when Taas started to move. He stopped himself before actually reaching out.
"Let's go somewhere more open then," he said. "Somewhere it wouldn't take a lot of effort to move you to a funeral pyre. I can record any last messages you have too." It was strange how calmly he could talk about this. He could feel a break down coming, but he would hold off until Taas was taken care of.
It was easy to think of this in steps. Step one was to get Taas somewhere that would be comfortable and the easiest for everyone involved. Step two would be to say good bye. That would be difficult but not nearly as much as step three, which would involve arrows and being very careful with his aim.
