That's incredibly frustrating. Thank you, but still. Hopefully things will play out well, but if I'm so easily put down by a mere human with a gun then I don't think my chances against anything else are too high. I could do with all the help I can get.
Ank'harel or not, you are still deserving of the respect owed to you for your position. If you would prefer different, though, then I will of course go with that.
