Harry lets out a shaky breath and looks so relieved to see her smile that
despite the scarring and other changes, he's almost the same boy she knew.
"I know you're sorry. I can't imagine that you wouldn't be and I'm so sorry
too, for having put you in that position. I'll ask and beg your forgiveness
for as long as you'll let me." And yet... "And you still believe her? Live
up to your word and don't believe her, don't let her use you up and leave
you crying like this. I'm sure she'll stick to the letter of the agreement
and destroy the sigil after every last Unseelie and their family is dead.
She put forth the order to kill everyone at Caer Scima. Every man, woman,
child, babe in arms, and she won't stop."
"Morla would do the same, I don't doubt, but that's what it boils down to,
isn't it? When the slavers take your children, does it matter which court
owns them?"
