"Gabriel, please."
"Tara."
"H-he... Gabriel, just... I don't know what to do for him!"
"Tara...he's only one and a half years old. He wouldn't..."
"You don't know him Gabriel, you don't know him like I do."
"Please! Take him, I beg of you!"

"You know me all too well Tara. Once you have left me, make yourself scarce. Never again should you show your face to me, or to him. It's too dangerous otherwise."
"Gabriel..."
"Do you agree?"
"I–I..."
"Swear by your pendant."
"I swear by the pendant on my chest from which my ancestors gave me that I will forever uphold this oath."
"Good, now come."
