[As Cilan listens to all of this, Red may or may not notice that there's a cold, damp sort of temperature in the air, like the prelude to a potential rainfall, or perhaps even threatening the arrival of a storm. Cilan can't say that he doesn't understand how Red had felt--just hearing what they did makes him angry enough to think that they should pay for what they had done too...
But, hearing the break in Red's voice causes the anger to ebb, just a little. Red... there's something to admire about the fact that he's trying so hard to talk about this with us, despite how painful the memory of those events are. Something about that seems to be what allows Cilan to stay calm as he nods at Red's request.

Take as much time as you need, Red.]
