NOTES: Context.

The next time any of us— [ That isn't an all-inclusive us; he means, specifically, mages and rifters and maybe templars, but everyone can figure that out on their own. Or not. He doesn't care. ] —is in the position to make demands, I think we should make sure we have a say in which rifters go to which Circles. We could pick in turns. Like choosing teams.

[ That's all. ]

Comments

this sounds optimal

[faithlikeaseed]

[He wonders that Kostos didn't choose foolish or naive; he's heard those as often in that same tone from others.]

I wouldn't be otherwise. [There's a double meaning there.]

We could. And if we've covered all the options we won't be surprised however it comes out.

[exequy]

The rifters might be.

[ Surprised. ]

[faithlikeaseed]

[He thinks about that a long moment, weighing his words. Then:]

If we've done our duty to warn them and they're still surprised when it catches them in the teeth, it's not on us any longer.

You get the feeling they've faced such long odds at home they can't take any of this seriously.
