"Tharn might not know where they are..." Gabriel replied after a time, "His attention is so focused on us he might... 'forget' about them."

He could see how this conversation was going to lead to tears, and he prepared himself...

"There is quite a large chance they are, and will, still be alive by the time we kill Tharn. Just... try to stop thinking about it; for your health. Besides, we need you for this mission... I need you."

"Just... Focus on what lies ahead." "How can you say that so easily?! It's Shakti's family! The only family she have left! As the oldest of them, it's her responsibility to keep them safe. But Khajiit can't when she doesn't know where they are!"

She cradled her head between her hands, resting her elbows on her knees. "This one is so depressed as of now." The Breton gruffed, "At least you protected yours..."

Gabriel turned away for a second, clearly seeing the near impossible feat of helping her through this. "We've been lucky, haven't we? We've survived through countless enemies. Don't you think your sisters would be to?"

"Not to mention we've attracted Tharn's full attention."

He felt disappointed with himself: countless times he helped fellow soldiers push through the depression of death and war.

"Imagine what your sisters are thinking? That you didn't make it... They will keep pushing to find you, and they won't give up anytime soon."

"Are we... together - through this hellish nightmare - going to help them with that?"

It was surprisingly obvious how hard he was trying, hoping that he could, at the very least, make her feel better. The Breton didn't want to see her like this... and neither would the group.
