As we are, you and I will be able to deal with Riful, but if she should return? She is bound to strengthen her ties to Luciela, and the pair of them, feeling threatened, are bound to launch an all out assault against us, perhaps with aid... it's difficult to say. It is even more difficult to predict what the outcome of that assault will be.

That is why... I am not certain I will stop your Awakening should you reach that point. You will not be able to increase your strength quickly enough otherwise, and the events that would follow a fight with Riful would be most inconvenient if you were to remain at your current level.

[ Satisfied? It's not the whole truth, but it's definitely the more substantial part of it. ]
