There is love inside this madness
We are walking on the moon
We are walking on the moon
In another time and another place, Soh might have quailed beneath the combined skepticism of Halo's residents, even though most of them seemed well-intentioned. Still, she was a leader now, and she fought hard to keep a hold on that calm stoicism that she admired so in Hadama. Lena's support and Anna's presence helped - at least she was not here on her own, faced against the crowd with no help.
When Lena had finished speaking, Soh nodded in agreement. "Please understand that we hear your concerns," she said. "Lectures at the Collegium will be a wonderful start. I would also like to solicit feedback from Abandoned on what that curriculum looks like, as well as what protective measures would be appropriate. Perhaps a small committee comprised of people from Stormbreak, Abandoned volunteers, and Dragoons to help plan for the transition. I welcome feedback. For this to be successful, open communication is essential.
"As for upholding the law, our citizens and any visitors will be held to the same standards of conduct. People - of any race - who break the law will be dealt with accordingly. Our Dragoons will be held to the highest standards and expected to perform their duties without prejudice. If they cannot do so, they will not stay a Dragoon for very long. And of course, incidents of any kind involving another region's citizens should be communicated to that region's leadership. I thank you for the suggestions."
Taking a deep breath, and hoping that she hadn't overstepped any boundaries, she added. "As for a timeline, as soon as we may complete the tasks set out for us by Safrin. We will certainly be hosting a welcome event - the details of which will be sent as soon as possible."

Though I don't believe in magic
I believe in me and you
I believe in me and you
