"Did someone call?" a chuckling voice asked as the familiar figure of Ravenlock rose up out of Scarlet's shadow at the mention of genocide. "I thought you might be having need of my services..." he drolled. "I grow bored of Wing City."

His appearance garnered him some unpleasant looks from Shelby, but the Paladin kept her thoughts on the topic at hand as she too spoke.

"The Knights of Le'thorian are not as strongly bound in our neutrality as the Patronus have become," she began, "but if we were to send our forces to aid these other lands, we would leave our own unprotected. I do not know that we have the resources to extend our reach that far, but I am inclined to stand with the others that something should be done. Do the patroni not swear to serve and protect the people of Terra?" she asked. "How can they do that if they are unwilling to fight."

Rynhart listened to the others speak as he mulled the situation over. It had been Rhea's vision that had steered the Patronus towards pacifism and neutrality, not his. But truth be told, he hadn't a strong stake in either end of the spectrum. He was simply going through the paces day by day.

"If we were to send aid, our claim of neutrality would no longer hold any weight," Rynhart answered finally. He folded his hands under his chin as he thought on the matter. "We can't pick and choose what wars we decide to play part in. It is my belief that this war is the folly of man and nothing more. It is in human nature to war among themselves."
