If Terrence was expecting anything out of that, he's going to be sorely disappointed for roughly ten seconds. His breath is calm, steady and smells vaguely of apples from his tea. At this distance, it's obvious that he didn't even flinch at Terrence's approach. His eyes stay locked on Terrence, searching him and his emotions. It's only after those ten seconds, after he's certain Terrence isn't going to ask for more than that, that he abruptly stands. He grabs Terrence's collar as he stands, fingers gripping into the fabric as he lifts the rabbit knight up with him. He keeps a firm grip on him as he stands, leaving the rabbit knight up on his tiptoes as the Protector lifts him up.

"You know well enough the sordid reputation she's made for herself. What you and the others cannot fathom is who she is. She would sacrifice this whole world, every one of its people, for her fatalistic view that this world must end. She wants to stand at the precipice of oblivion just as it all crumbles." He suddenly releases Terrence, this time allowing a raw hatred to steep into his voice.

"She, and her unthinkable spell trapped us here and she wants us to die here."
