"...."
Rey was speechless.
What could he say in his defense? What words could he utter that wouldn't be shut down by Adrien? How could he defend his worldview?
He knew within himself that it was intrinsically wrong to kill the Elves, and that what Adrien was doing clearly bordered on the morally evil end. Yet… why couldn't he argue against his logic?
'If I refuse to accept his moral positions, I'll be a hypocrite.'
Rey would simply be asserting that Adrien was wrong because he didn't agree with his methods and actions.
That was arbitrary at best.
"Be honest with me, Rey…" Adrien interrupted his thoughts before he could go even further with his introspection.
"Why are you helping the Elves? Why are you so against me? You must have already known I was involved long before this meeting, so why didn't you just turn a blind eye?"
Rey felt something coiling around his heart.
Was it guilt? No, not quite.
