Erin says nothing for a long while. Doesn't move, doesn't reach for her drink. She sits with Dimitri's words and turns them over in her mind. She acknowledges the surge of overwhelming, murderous rage she feels at the people who did this to him and then sets it aside; it's not helpful right now. Maybe one day if the ship stops by Faerghus there can be such a slaughter as the world has never seen, but...no. Not now.
When she finally speaks up her voice is very quiet: "There is a question I would like to ask you. It is not a kind question, Dimitri. I might go so far as to say it will be an act of cruelty. But...I suspect you need to hear it."
Erin digs into her belt pouches and takes out her stopwatch. She sets it for five minutes but does not turn it on.
"If you're willing to hear this question I want you to seriously consider it before you say anything about it. May I ask?"
