Lyon gestured for the young half-elf to follow him to the top. When the two entered the Commander's quarters, Lyon put a hand on his shoulder. "Look, Jovron. I know what is going on through your head. I was there once too, when my half-brother died...actually, when he was murdered. Sir Cirges explained the situation to me as well about an hour ago."

"So you know that Gaban was murdered by Emeric and Perien?" Jovron asked.

Lyon nodded and clenched his fists. "I am well aware. They killed him and then executed your father for the crime. I also know the details of what happened with your half-brother. Trust me, I understand."

"I assume he also told you about Arie." Jov said. When Lyon nodded, the commander added. "Then you know that I have no choice. She is all the family I have left and she is in danger."

"We're your family now, Jov. All of us in the Crows. We're brothers." Lyon argued.

Jovron shook his head. "I know, but none of you are in danger. Arie is married to a sadistic murderer. One that gets off on torturing defenseless people. Just look at Cirges and see the bastard's handiwork. I will not let that happen to her!"

"As I said. I understand, but are you willing to abandon the Crows? To become a deserter and a criminal? To abandon the post that Sir Gerrick left for you, the legacy he left for you? To abandon all your brothers here, your friends...Medora." Lyon asked.

Jovron looked at him. "You..."

"I know." Lyon interrupted. "I understand as well. When I was younger I committed the same crime. I broke my vows for someone I cared about, but...it ended badly for the two of us. He died when I had to make the choice between him and an entire unit of brothers. Twice I've been tested: once by love, another by duty. Twice I've chosen the Crows. You've been tested as well: once by the love you felt for your father, now by the duty you feel towards your family. You must choose, Jovron. What is more important to you: your family or the Crows?"

Medora spent the whole day using her skills in Illusion magic to try to snap Doraleous out of the comma. She used a combination of the various effects, calm, frenzy, fear, to try to get the unconscious Knight to react to the treatment.
