It feels heartless to say after what we have witnessed, but I fear we must needs return to our discussion from last night. If we're to lose Rin... we cannot lose Baraqiel as well. I cannot think he would want us to.
[But her voice and expression will make it clear just how much she hates to say it.]
I think so too. There is nothing to say that Baraqiel would refuse to allow us to go.
We might call upon the other two Celestials... if we reached out to them, we could ask them to meet the three of us together. Between the five of us we ought to be able to work out a suitable exchange, yes...?
It is possible that the tree cutting is something both sides of their conflict want. I do not want to become embroiled any further in their conflict. And I certainly do not want to give it to them, if they ask for it.
Ah. [Okay, it's about the tree.] I agree. If the Tree of Knowledge truly is the object both sides seek, we must needs keep it to our own number until we can decide what ought to be done with it. I don't think any of us trust their masters with such a decision.
[She stands.]
Then if we are in agreement, I will send a letter to Shamsiel and Suriel. I... think that Satariel would help as well, if we asked their indulgence, but I cannot be certain she would be allowed to help us to help a Celestial.
I'll ask them to meet us at the serpent's skull. There, we may be certain we are not overheard.

I shouldn't have allowed him to take on that snake on his own.
