[Rose turns suspiciously towards Fordola. The other woman is being...nice, almost uncharacteristicly so. She isn’t sure how to feel about it, so she isn’t going to think about it. Instead, she’s focusing on the plants as she talks.]

Rest assured, if I believed I could vanish, I would in a heartbeat. But when you’re the savior of the world, people come looking for you. I doubt I would get very far.

[She also doesn’t want to put her family in danger, but she’s not bringing that part up.]

So I fight to protect the people I care about. I’m sure you remember them, considering that many of them were nearly murdered at Rhalgr’s Reach.

[It’s kind of a low blow after Fordola tried to be nice, but Rose can’t help herself. She’s still mad.]
