Firo thinks it over, wondering how possible that plan actually was. Wondering how important this whole quest actually was. It's hard to tell with how Roland speaks of it. And he wonders once more how much of this is Roland just beating himself up however he can.

He shifts, reasserting his hold around Roland. As he does, he breathes out, "That really doesn't sound so bad..." Staying in your own little corner of the world with your family. What more would anyone want?

He wishes for Roland's sake that things had gone that way. But they didn't.

Maybe there's another way he can go about this. "What'd he think of this whole T--whole quest thing?" He skirts the word 'Tower' because he can feel very well the reaction whenever Roland says it himself. "Was it important to him too?"
