“Break my own moral code?” Destiney frowns as she looks away. She takes a few steps towards the door before pacing back to where she started from. Her stance uneasy as she ponders her answer to the question. Closing her eyes for a moment of time as she decides. Her blue eyes conflicted as she finally opens her eyes again.

“I swore I’d never kill again. People that is. Swore when I became a healer that I would help rather then harm. But… If those I love or care deeply about are threatened… I think I would be able to find the strength to break that to save their lives. I would rather give up another piece of my soul to save them.” She looks away uncomfortably. Her voice drops almost to a whisper as she adds one final thing. “What is a bit more blood on my hands for the sake of those I love.”

“Moral Code? As in my honor code as a Knight?” Lance taps a finger against his chin in thought. He shakes his head before crossing his arms in front of his chest. “That would difficult indeed. It would have to be something fairly world shattering to make me forsake my code.”

“Although…” He takes a seat in a nearby chair, leaning back so it sits on two legs as he speaks. “Watching innocent people being threatened by authority or those in higher power might as well. As much as I would hate to bring shame to my family name or that of Haillenarte… I think they would eventually forgive me if I sacrificed honor in the name of doing what is right. As much as I would hate to bring shame to Haillenarte when I am trying to do my part to help restore them.”
