Then it will escalate until the madness overwhelms everyone. If the wronged party takes revenge upon his attacker, the attacker, or the attacker's friends, will retaliate. And then the victim's friends will do the same, for ever. It is a horrible cycle, Lord Saxon. I have seen it firsthand.
I understand a desire for vengeance better than many humans. The Capulets live for it. But I have seen what happens in the end, and it is only grief. Perhaps it is different for the Lords of Time. But I pray you, be careful. You have such a generous heart, Lord Saxon. You can offer a hand of friendship to one who has wronged you more thoroughly than anyone here is able to wrong you.
