I have shown some resistance to it too... but that is besides the point, as the only thing that could ever get me to ask Carlisle to use something that weighs on him so heavily would be if it was the only thing standing between him and the one who would end is life. As I will not allow it to come ot that, it does not matter!

[Glacius huffs, clearly feeling strongly about that particular subject, having seen the effect it can have on him both physically and emotionally. He doesn't seem to want to hear any further discussion on it; he bulls on to the next subject.] If am not around when Shadow chooses that moment to strike, then by all means, deal with him. If I am present... I will reiterate that it falls to me. It is my partner this wretch has threatened, and it is my duty to bring threats like this to justice or to their end should they force my hand, no matter what world I am in. In that case, I would prefer it if you would remain by Carlisle, could escort him away from danger until the threat has been dealt with; I will be able to fight with more confidence knowing that he is somewhere safer, and it would keep Shadow from trying to slip around me to target him, forcing a more straightforward engagement.
