"If you have any doubts or uncertainty about your commitment to the Old Ways -- this is the chance I'm giving you to back out. I won't hold it against you, and I'll let you go freely. But if you stay and continue, know this; that every moment you are with me, you are in danger, and if things go as I suspect they will, soon every moment you are with yourself, you'll be in danger. Is that the life you want, Evergreen?"
