I am frustrated, I will admit to that. I only want you to consider being there for these people in a way that is more compassionate than asking them to live until Oblivion ends them.
[ Because it is. It's an ugly, difficult, monstrous choice and — soft, between the two Advocates, is the knowledge that Drizzt ultimately understands that. That he comprehends he's asking something, not of Zenith, but of painfully difficult compassion. That the Shard-Bearers spare people the same fear, horror and agony that they went through. That yes, because they do wield that power, it is a slippery slope — but a decision he makes not lightly. ]
I know that. I live that same way, treasuring every day and every life and every world and the burden of remembering it all. We're not so different, really. I just want... I honestly, just want them to die in a way that gives them the greatest peace. Even if... if even Meridian wins and brings them all back later, I want them to experience the peace we didn't get to have. The peace I wish someone advocated for us to have, before we had to come here.
