"I... yeah." Honestly, the idea of the Protector deciding to threaten his kids seems like a great way to get two Murtakhor Monkey Knight deaths. So Gyre's suggestion gets a visible lightbulb moment as Garrot takes it and runs.

"I've spent most of my life wanting to stop her. I've devoted my career to keeping her game from causing more damage to our Knights. My father had to die because of her!" The words come naturally, but there's still an unsteady edge. Gyre wouldn't know it yet, but Garrot is grappling with the part of him that knows the Protector is to blame for his father's death and everything that's led him to this point. So he takes a breath.

"How was that?" Suddenly, Garrot looks just a little meek and sheepish. Maybe that's convincing enough?
