Kell keeps his eyes fixed on the ground. There's an explosive cocktail of emotions flooding his mind at this moment. Guild, rage, fear, disappointment.
"This was supposed to work for everyone. Everyone. No just a handful of Summoned and a few natives."
This was the only moment when the Acolytes had a bigger problem to deal with than making sure their captives won't escape. The only moment when it could have worked. And it didn't. Kell doesn't count a partial success as a success.
"I could have at least tried, and I didn't."
All he could think about in that moment was how to get Wilhelm out. He didn't realize this was Istredd's plan from the beginning. Maybe he could have convinced him if he did. Istredd is stubborn, but so is he. But there were so many things he had to focus on, that he missed it. Maybe if he didn't, he would have found a way to convince Istredd they need a better plan. Maybe if he did that one more thing. If he at least looked back instead of mindlessly plowing forward. He should have done at least something.
