"As for the both of you, well, it has put us in an interesting position. On the one hand, you're a clear enemy of the state but on the other, certain circumstances have changed things." he said, looking at the baby.

Help make something better for your daughter. Should you refuse, you will be sent on your way and banished. But know that Sirius is a dangerous place, you would be constantly on the run. Things are more... complicated, with your daughter in the picture."
