Winnifred pauses, her keen eyes examining the discontent drawn across Estinien's face curiously.
"Are you being deliberately difficult with me?"
She shakes her head.
"You know exactly why we have begun Summoning, Estinien. You and your companions are the ones who made it possible, even down to the details of how such magic might be accomplished! A clear sign from the Gods if there ever was one. You made it all very clear, when you told the Council of your experiences. The Summoned are our concern. Not Thorne, or even the Free Cities, who I have heard you speak very little about despite their desire to destroy the Singularity entirely. The Summoned. And they are where I would direct your attention, if you are honestly interested in steering a course away from calamity and not simply thirsty for the familiar comforts of war."
