Unfortunately for Laharl, Gwen had no intention in the slightest to free him. She took up the ends of the scarf, noting that it had been tied once already. "I can see that," she commented. She felt bad, just a little, for what she was about to do, but... Her son's safety was at stake, and she didn't trust that if he got free of the scarf, he'd manage to break the seal.

Gwen sighed again, and very quickly tightened the scarf and knotted it once more. And then she backed away on the chance that Laharl came volatile.

"I'm sorry, Laharl, but this is really for the best."
