"Well, you're right. There's no precedent, is there?" Luka says, pausing to set his coffee aside before rising to meet the Wizard. "But am I wrong to be here right now? I mean, in forty years the Protector has always won, and the world's always gone on. Siding with him is statistically safer, isn't it? If we're just going to do whats safe and proven I'll have to go back to slaying monsters for him indiscriminately."

It was surprising to him to hear this question coming from the Wizard, as Luka grappled with the same dilemma regarding her.

"Sxicq isn't a scientist, yeah - but I'd think they know well enough about what's happening to this planet. Aren't they like, connected to it?" Luka shrugs. "I trust their judgment."
