Luther smiles ruefully at this and thinks for a long moment. "Stealing the amulet isn't the worst idea," he says slowly. "Mokoz will need to study it and if Laerdya can't be persuaded to work with her, it would be nice to already have it in our possession."
He gives Tree a long look. "And... You could just ask her, Gwyn. To work with Mokoz, I mean. She hasn't always been the best mother, but she does love you. If you could be reconciled to her, even just a little--"
"But I love--"
Luther shakes his head quickly. "I know. I do. But if he's as charming as he's supposed to be, he might bring her around if you introduced them properly. Gwyn, love, can you at least think about meeting her halfway? Wouldn't it be better to try that first, before we move on to more drastic measures?"
