There is such genuine sorrow for this man after she hears his words. Sophia has no desire to see him dead, in spite of his actions here, or perhaps because of them. There is a genuinely sad noise from the pidove on his head, underscoring her words. "We would never make such demands of people...Your city and its people truly have no faith in others, do you." They really would do anything to avoid the consequences of their own actions.
Then words he has uttered click together and slowly she sinks to her knees, until her eyes are level with their captive. Though her eyes are wet with unshed tears, her voice is steady and direct. "...If you were to release your bond mates and send them away from here, would Alina spare them? Or would they too be 'cleaned up'?"
