[Hehe, of course. Most of us girls do. And Credo inwardly flinches at the jab to Tir. He'd heard about that... and he had all the intention of making sure that wouldn't happen again. Tir was a good man and comrade to work with, but he always kept that in mind.]

That will not happen again. I will take full responsibility for Cecil during his stay in jail.

[And then there is more added drama as Cecil seems to blank out, still asking for Rika though. He wishes Tir was a bit more... responsive himself, but understands that this might be difficult for him. He should have brought someone else with him for the arrest. As he's about to go to Tir and have them leave, the girl insists on dropping a bombshell on them.]

According to the laws set here, no. But if you think this will help Cecil at all, you are wrong. Making this arrest more difficult will serve no purpose other than stringing out the inevitable.

Once he is taken in there can be discussions on his sentencing and what shall be done with him. Until then I would ask you to let us take him in. He is a criminal and will be dealt with like one.

[And with that he turns his back to her and goes over to Tir and Cecil and Rika. He attempts to calm Rika again, so they can leave without her clinging to Cecil and being dragged along.]
