[ Chris's answer relies a lot on the things she's done and the relationships she's forged. Strong when a leader is there to hold it all together, weak when the leader falls. But maybe Chris will be in Zexen forever. ]
Peace doesn't need to last an age to be worth something. [ He shakes his head. ] But I don't need to tell you that. Any soldier already knows.
You didn't say anything about Harmonia, I noticed. Should I be hurt?
[Sadly, Chris is already resigned to the idea of having to leave Zexen behind one day. Duty is one thing, but she can't bear the thought of having to witness her friends grow old without her. And with Harmonia sniffing about, it'll be safest all around if one day she just...disappears, though not without some contingencies if need be. She doesn't like thinking that far ahead too much right now, however.]
Quite right. Still, we have a chance to build something more permanent than we had before. It would be folly to waste that chance.
Not at all. It's not Harmonia I'm currently worried about. I'd much rather focus on the issues coming from within Zexen than without at the moment, and the Council is the top of that list.
Hey, I wouldn't want to think about Harmonian politics either. [ His mouth twists into a grimace. That is something he says with all of his honesty. ] But sometimes it's harder to see the things you're closest to.
