"Elaria, isn't an indiscriminate attack a bit..."
"John, on this matter, I won't compromise. I must make those people pay."
Elaria turned to face John, her light green eyes filled with sorrow and anger, but unwavering in their resolve.

From Elaria's perspective, John completely understood her feelings. He certainly wouldn't jeopardize his relationship with her by helping the intruders.
"I'll help you."
"It's okay. If you feel reluctant to act against your own kind, you don't have to force yourself."
