[ She almost says something incredibly dumb and inflammatory in response to Syrlya's words, about how she was obviously just letting him get a word in edgewise like someone polite!, but luckily, Dorothea interjects, giving her the space to think of a more rational response.

Her eyes go to the offered amulet, as well, voice sympathetic, and her expression tense, as though genuinely concerned for the other woman. ]

It's hard, right? I don't think either of us can really prove anything to you here, but, well, if you want the truth.... the truth is, what you saw in your dream, that was real. The world you came from is gone.

[ If things are going to go her way, she needs to move them along quickly. ]

It's true that the Regent is in power right now, but they didn't force me to be there. They want to recreate the universe, free it from all the suffering that there is... so for us Aions, being with them means we'll be able to save parts of the worlds we came from. And make the world a better place, too.

[ The underlying message is there, from the heart of the Kenoma: everything is already lost. There's no point in going against the grain. Finally, she'll appeal to the emotional, pressing her hands against her chest: ]

I have someone I love, that I really want to save from my world. That's why I'm there. You can do that if you're with us. His side, the Pleroma... they don't have a plan at all to fix our worlds. And you'll be a fugitive, if you go with him.

[ On that last word, she begins encasing Syrlya's hand in stone - the one with the amulet. Dorothea hesitated, and it's given her an opening. It's a chaotic and unpredictable move, but, what else can she do? She'd rather force the woman into a decision when she's already gotten the last word, so she'll just throw things into the fray. ]
