Six does not understand the depth of this, she thinks. The haunting Adrian had given her was nothing compared to what Myr was suffering from - it's clear that what is happening to him is a depth of pain that she cannot fathom. The guilt that eats at her for one life was something she could overcome; not that she thinks herself somehow stronger than her friend, somehow more powerful in spirit, but because she knew Adrian so deeply and intimately she could not allow the spirit to hurt her for long. It was not real; he was not real.

At least this is something she can do. She does not have the powers she once had, but she has a mirror of her God at her side, a mirror of something worth her respect and trust. Her head tilts up as she watches - and for a moment, blazing with the sun of Faith at her side, she looks the Paladin she had once been. Her head tilts, her sword is raised, and she watches, making sure it does not come any closer, making sure it does not dare to press too harshly on Myr.

"And they will not this time, either. I will not allow it. You do not deserve to suffer and I shall guard against what you cannot fight." Facing demons or spirits is difficult enough; facing ones that know you...

Turning back, her voice softens, her eyes flicking between him and the spirit.

"That I guard those that cannot guard themselves. That I redeem those that can be brought back to the Light, and harm only when redemption is no longer an option."
