[He presses his lips together for a moment, then drinks deeply, draining the contents of his glass instead of savoring it the way he'd normally prefer. This hasn't been a savoring sort of day. He exhales as he sets his glass down, eyes briefly closed before he gives a shake of his head.]
If it were only myself I had to worry about, I don't believe that I would hesitate. I would take my powers back without a second thought, certain that I could weather whatever might come— but it's not, is it? I'm a danger to far more than myself, and it's my own doing. If the tadpole is still active in this place, then who's to say the orb won't be, as well? Elminster's efforts may not count for much here, either, meaning that a piece of the Karsite weave would be left to rage unchecked.
