[That reaction has caught Inessa by surprise, that stoic expression slipping and for a moment she doesn't know what to say. There had been a brief moment after her statements over the crystal, where she had wondered if she had gone too far. She had been one of the strikers, after all, and amnesty was granted...that time. What would happen if she continued to voice her strong opinion on the matter of phylacteries? But that moment of wondering was just a moment. She had meant her statements and would stand by them, whatever the consequences.]

Thank you, Iorveth. [Her tone is quiet, touched, and she offers a genuine smile.]

I'll remember that, when it's needed. I am not completely without ties to those who bear anchors; a few are very important to me, and I worry for their freedom as well as overall fate. Whatever happens to them will always be my concern. I refuse to have my own freedom traded for theirs.
