"Bury it, then." His jaw shifted a little. "I told you. It's not death I'm frightened of. You don't die, but that doesn't mean it can't hurt you." There was no humour in his face now. Taking a step towards her, he grabbed her sleeve. "I know how bad an idea it is to take it back. Hells, even if you gave it to one of us... we've all lost too much. I'd almost be willing to risk it to see whether Rebecca's girls got out alive, to know what happened to our folken, to see my mother and father again... and Ro', he lives half in the past as it is. Let it near him, he'll watch Susan die over and over until he wastes to nothing. I'm not saying we should take it back. I'm just saying..."
He took a deep breath, letting go of her arm, and shook his head. "I'm just saying I don't want to risk you." Then, after another long, deep breath, "Look. We'll take it out of town, break it there. Before Ro' and Nariko get back. It'll be like shooting skeet. But if you break it, I'm not letting it be just you who's at risk. Maybe-heroes together, right?"
