This is unexpected - not the emotional plea from Roberto but her desire to respond to it in kind. Today has been full of those sorts of moments and it briefly makes her feel old and bitter toward those gathered in the room. It doesn't last long. Even if she is getting too old for this there is no other real choice.
She is slow to respond to his words, thinking it over. "He's right. If we don't do something now we won't have enough people to do anything after we lose whoever we would lose in the retaliation tonight." Silver carefully removes Roberto's hand from her cheek, giving it a small squeeze before releasing it and starting to step away from him.
Looking to the newcomers, she seems ready to give an emotional plea. But it isn't her way. "We're going to have to go. If you come, you can figure out what it is you need to do and maybe we can help. If not - we'll either survive or we won't. The more capable people we have, the better chance we all have."
