It is not precisely retaliation. [ Allairavar pauses. ] In the most generous interpretation, what he did was stupid at the very least. He and those with him purposefully rendered Lady Vera next to helpless and then turned weapons upon her.

Have you been in a position, [ He struggles for a moment, attempting to figure out exactly how to address Daylight. ] Lord Daylight, where your best protection has been taken from you and you are left vulnerable to those who wish your humiliation or worse? To cut off a Blood from their Jewel is to take their arm. Their leg. Their heart. That is what the landens did when they used muters and breakers on Lady Vera and part of why the Blood find it so abhorrent.

He is fortunate that the Lady Fayura seeks to speak with all of you and to try to find a different path for I can tell you without pause that had these landens tried the same with Lady Fayura, none of them would still draw breath.
