"No." The fox states. "I don't think you understand. With us she will become a true prodigy. A master of science, and magic, a Knowledge gatherer far beyond any of us. The secrets she will discover will tear the heavens asunder... and so on. It would be a good thing."
"You know Talia might not survive... close your eyes... you can see it." The world warps slightly, and Geoff sees Talia, through the window of the hospital. "Watch... see how weak she is, see how she risks dying any moment." there is movement in the room, a group gathers round the bed, talking frantically, its hard to see what exactly is happening, and Geoff cannot hear anything but the falling of raindrops onto the grass. "When she goes do you really believe you can give here a good life? Do you really believe she will live up to Morgath's hopes and dreams with you?"
Geoff is forced back to reality, as he feels the foxes paws brush against him, as the fox tries to take the child.
