( it is deliberate, that petrana responds publicly: )
The intention behind what has been done to you was to strike a blow against our people and the Inquisition, Mademoiselle Amsel. I can think of no more effective way to strike that blow than to allow it to be said that we will not care for our people if it should be inconvenient to us, when we are aware of options and able to seek them out. I cannot promise you that we might reverse the rite tomorrow. We do have a great deal to contend with. We are not, it is true, able or advised to drop all of our other concerns.
That having been said, I would not allow these religious extremists their due in the blow to morale that would be we will not fight for our own.
(private. )
To some, the matter is personal. To others, it is an indicator of how they may be treated, and anyone for whom they care. We have taken a great many blows, and within a year past a monumental effort was undertaken to right a grievous wrong that could have ended Riftwatch entirely. We are not unable to help you. If we choose not to, the message we send is not the one that you are concerned by.
