"That is a fair question." He nodded slowly when the man asked about who would protect his family. In all honesty he was noticing rifters had been pulled from moments that they could go back to. Moments they would probably live through. Iskandar didn't mind that when he returned it would likely mean continuing to ride to his own death for that was the path that he had chosen. However, he could understand the feelings of others in different positions than his own.

"Does she really have no one but you to protect her when you are not there?"

That was really what he wanted to know. What sort of situation was this poor girl or woman in that there was literally only one who could save her? "I'm not sure what the state of time is in the places we are pulled from honestly whatever the case is. I do like to think it would politely wait for our return though. That would be good of it, yes?"

That last comment was followed by a warm smile.
