Book turns to the woman, and he hesitates before he speaks. Just that sudden startle of seeing something quite unexpected. He turns his head a little, making sure she is in focus, and he is seeing correctly. The woman's ears come to a sharp point, it is no costume or trick, and there is no sign of augmentation? Curious.

"You.. are correct," he is quick to pick his steam back up, though. "And know that I have made my own intentions plain. I will serve, I am grateful to be here, but I have lines that I will not cross."

"We must each make one decision, yes. But then another, and another. The choices of war come in fits and starts. It is never straightforward." A pause, and Book brings his hands together. "And once a decision has been made, another decision can be made to change one's course. If you find that you are straying from the path that you truly wish to walk."

If she realizes he's quiet a moment because he's observing her and her ears, then she certainly doesn't show it. The cant of her head has more to do with what he says, a thoughtful lean as she considers his words. "There is freedom in being honest with your intentions and goals, and to know where you shall not tread. My hope is only that the Emperor has no need to ask you to cross such a line." And where war is concerned, she doubts he will be spared from at least a request from the Emperor when the time comes, whatever that line may be.

But there is a strange amount of comfort in what he says next. Neria is silent and it is all too clear that the gears are turning over and over in her head.

"...Do you truly think people can change their lives around? Make one decision to put themselves back on the proper path?"
