We've just heard from our friend Haltham about the fighting between Unhalad and Anurr forces nearby, so here's a question for everyone, brought up originally by our companions who got themselves drugged and fight-happy against the second living: what actions do you think we should or shouldn't take?

In Haltham's encouraging words, think wisely. Whatever we're doing or not doing has an effect by merit of choice. Also, a reminder that we still need to not end up in either's hands or revealing our location, given the reason we were summoned here has not changed, and our deaths can be a benefit to either side. Our lives benefit ourselves and our rescuers and the peoples here, by keeping us out of warlord hands.

( He's not opening up with his thoughts because he doesn't want it as a discussion against his take, but as people offering their thoughts after he asks the question. )

[ Recent experience finds that surprising, but who is he to know. ]

That has to be frustrating for them.

[weifinder]

Can't say this is the first time outside forces have ended up frustrated with my continued existence, and from the sounds of it, not the first time for a number of us either.

[ He can't refute that. Not when there's a part of him that still blames the Commission for sending him here. ]

That explains it. [ Explains what? He doesn't say. ] If they were doing their jobs well, they've come up with the right distraction.

[ Diego would have fit right in. Everyone has a hero complex. ]

[weifinder]

Haaah.

( Throw in the bone that people can't resist latching onto when they're not pragmatic enough to say no. )

Don't think they were thinking in this way, to pull us out. Which is half the problem of going in.

[ Luckily, their enemies don't seem to be that cunning. Instead they're just waiting for them to make mistakes, which takes a lot less energy on their part. ]

I didn't think that was still up for debate.

[weifinder]

I'd wonder.

( Said with a low laugh, because he seriously does find himself wondering with this ragtag group of theris. )

[ Teamwork is exhausting. There's no telling when he's going to be done with all of it and decide he's better off on his own. If he can talk Vanya into it, which he's famous for. ]

At least it won't be a surprise.
