Another way to look at this is that Anura has had no problem with asserting her own right to do what she wants with the ring, and completely dismissed Reid's suggestions about other approaches, but seeks to block his own use of the ring. If we had gone through a portal first, the townsfolk could have gone on their way and we could have parted company before we settle down for a chat - but now they're stuck here for what is likely to be more than a moment.

And with no warning? Reid was very clear about what he wanted to do three weeks ago. As you say, "Please."

Look, this is boring for all of us. We've got a hundred people that were, for lack of a better term, refugees. Reid feels some sense of responsibility for them - for reasons that you would no doubt dispute, but he did. If we have a better way to help them through the forest, let's do it and move on. If we don't, can we refocus the conversation on the actual plot of this story?
