[No, Stephen is not so idealistic, or optimistic, to think that'll come to pass. He already knows that there are some who'd prefer war in this place. Those who are pushing for it as they speak.]
Because that'd be too easy, wouldn't it? I don't expect anything. But I hope there will be enough who'll take into consideration the consequences the Singularity could have on our worlds and decide what to do from there, instead of taking what our hosts say at face value.

[It is a simple matter to share his opinion about their situation. Less simple to admit he had fooled his closest friend for over a decade; a man without a shred of guile. The guilt weighs down his shoulders - a stone inside his chest.
He holds his breath a moment. Exhales and makes an observation.]
It seems that bothers you.
[It should upset him. It doesn't.]
no subject
It doesnβt bother you?
no subject
It is what it is. I doubt crying over the matter helps anyone.
[His reply, too, is easy, refusing to reveal much emotion for an issue that affects him deeply.]
no subject
[Plain and simple. He feels as though this neednβt even be a discussion, but is unsurprised to be having it.]
The outcome of a war will affect everyone, and not just in this world. Many worlds beyond it. Your own, even.
This is beyond the scope of one nation vying for power over the other. People who boil it down to that alone are being willfully blind.

It takes a second before he visibly falters and corrects himself. His master who had cast him aside for one failure.
He shakes his head. Better not think about that.]
Blind? I assume they wish to avoid the stress.
[Hands grasp the reins as he elaborates.]
Enjoy a warm beach somewhere. You must comprehend people want comfortable lives.

[But Jasper is speaking to a man with heroic tendencies, as some may describe him. As some may describe many from his world, several of which reside in Abraxas, too.]
no subject
[Carnelian had changed before his own; he had changed over time in similar fashion. Nobody had noticed the deception.]
Humanity can watch the world crumble and remain entirely indifferent.

Then perhaps you and I hold exceptionally different interpretations of reality.

[The castle gates are before them now. Stephen urges his horse into a faster gait, eager to deposit their bags of herbs with the mages within, and warm himself by the nearest fire.]
One way or another, change is on the Horizon. Weβll see what happens sooner rather than later.
[But as for more mundane outings-]
Iβm going to assume youβre up for more guardwork if I need to head out again?
no subject
If needs must. I hardly have other arrangements to endure at this moment.
[That would be yes, long as his acquitance refuses to make a habit out of it.]
