[She thinks carefully before she speaks. After all, he wants her to be honest.]
... it... hurts to see Celliwig like this. It would hurt even if I had never seen Celliwig with my own eyes before now.
Despite that, I think you made the right choice. And I mean that. That isn't something I'm saying because it's you.
Even though I do truly, sincerely wish that things had not ended this way... everything was set on the wrong course long before it reached you.. Possibly even before the disaster struck, in the days when we could have prepared better, but didn't.
But despite that, you saved a man's life. You stood with your ally, rather than losing sight of those who stand beside you for the sake of your common objective. Or a chance at it, really — it still sounds to me as if the outcome couldn't be assured, if you were at such a point of desperation.
And even if I'm wrong, and the dragon would certainly have died? Letting your teammate die for that would have meant... the loss of something more important, I think.
