GIDEON

Be careful my darling
Be careful of what it takes

"Nate..." Gideon muttered under his breath, recognising the name. A second later he connected it in his mind to the young man that had gotten into his face in Torchline, the partner of Sunjata - the tempter taking a man of Safrin away from the light. An unpleasant person to be sure; he was glad to hear he was weak. That, and it sounded like Remi had already taught him some of his lesson.

Remi's answer was much as he had expected and it was the answer he had to accept and respect, of course, but he was glad to know his frustration was shared. "There must be some reason. Some wisdom they hold that makes their plan make more sense. It is hard sometimes to accept how little we know in comparison, but...we have to be happy with what they tell." One day, it would come, and they would eliminate the stains of the Ascended.

Anyway. The answer was indeed unsatisfying, but he at least had what he had come for. Nodding, Gideon stepped out of the cave, having plenty of soapboxes to ramble from for the rest of the way home.
