The focus on rebuilding is what I'm hoping for, personally. Even from what was overheard it's hard to tell whether Quilleth's wish is what should rightfully be the most popular one among the leaders, or if whoever she's writing is the one with the upper hand. Strangely enough, someone else recommended speaking to Quilleth to me before we went on the trip in relation to an idea I had to provide aid in Libertas.
[ Something not entirely relevant to their conversation now, but Claude does find it interesting that Quilleth's name has come up so often. A sign they should check into that, if there's a way for them to do so without drawing too much suspicion. To themselves or anyone else, since if too many things are mentioned Claude has to wonder if leadership will wonder how they know things. He would have if this had happened while he was leading the Alliance. ]
I didn't think you meant a violent protest, for the record. If we were going to do something like bringing that anti-war sentiment back, [ because despite his reservations, Claude's certainly not saying no, ] now would be the time to take advantage of it. There's a truce, ostensibly, and Thorne is at least giving the appearance of minding their own business after the Free Cities' retaliation. It's more like I have my suspicions about how benevolent the Free Cities actually is when it comes to someone challenging them on how things are always done if it was done more outright than, say, Libertas' influence coming over to Cadens in the art walk. Especially since they may not be able to punish the citizens, but they certainly know our whereabouts and about us.
[ Speaking of that. Claude spends a second studying the archery target across the way, making no secret of clearly thinking about something though it takes him another minute or so to voice it. ]
If you haven't heard already, you should know Cadens has been pulling people in for questioning about things they've done. I'd know since I was one of them a while back.
