A knight's disappointment

[stupidhonor]

Is this what you really thought of this organisation? Of Unity Group?

[Upon hearing the news of how the mission went, Sielje ran off to somewhere. She can be found in a quiet corner of Alhambra's outside areas. She had a small training area organised, with dummies for stabbing and such. All of which now show signs of frustration, damage done to them with haphazard strikes.]

Was so little required for you to turn traitor, Jen Douglas?

[Her head drops.]


I am a traitor too. I am. But still...

"I guess," Dido mutters.

She chuckles hopelessly. "Strange, isn't it? We've had allies betray us time and again. You'd think I'd get used to it...but now I'm hoping more than ever that Jen's not doing what she seems..."

She meets Sieljie's eyes. "Is that naive, you think?"

[stupidhonor]

If it is...

Then I proved myself a naive fool, time and time again.

"Hey," Dido says gently, patting Sieljie's armor pauldron. "There's no shame in being a naive fool! Lots of philosophers think being a naive fool's splendid!"

She snorts. "It's better than being a cynical villain or amoral money-grubber, right?"

[stupidhonor]

It is even better to be neither.

Those philosophers you speak of are strange people indeed...
