Why would I fight you?

[Not only would it be a completely pointless exercise in futility, what would it gain beyond temporary satisfaction? It wouldn't even make Blue feel better for long.]

You belong to her. At the very best you are a precious part of her legacy, human or quartz. At the worst ... it is not I to whom justice is most owed, and your fate will not lie in my hands. What is waiting another year, after so long?

[Blue straightens back up, pulling her long robes about herself a little tighter as if to fend off a chill. Mostly it's to fend off the grief threatening to boil back up. No. She must not give in. There's finally a light in the darkness, and she must hold onto that instead of the pain. There is hope. There is hope.]

All I must do is make certain you are there to face that judgment, be it for your guilt or your innocence. And if for some unknowable reason she chooses mercy..

[The tall woman inclines her head slightly towards Lapis.]

It seems she would like to keep your company, in gratitude. This can be provided for, even for a strange hybrid such as yourself.
