One need not be terribly soft to think it a proper, if risky, decision. Nothing provides such opportunity for introspection as recieving mercy where one expects none.
If they think you weak and a fool, they think you weak and a fool. Nothing has shifted. But if they are of such material that such an action changes a heart--
[ Alexandrie lifts her shoulders slightly. It is rare enough, but... ]
You have, of a sudden, a toe in the door. A friend amongst foes.
[ She tilts her head. ]
Do you think less of yourself, or more? For having been unable to be ruthless in such a situation.
