Are
He could've lied.
He could've crafted an elaborate plan, conjured out of thin air by a mind far sharper than that of the cobbler posing as a warrior. He knew people that could, people that would, better people far more suited to whatever pathetic attempt of rebelling Are was considering. He should've lied, he owed Eli that much. A little dishonesty to give the man some semblance of understanding, feigned or not.
Yet he couldn't.
"There's no plan. Not now. When, I am unsure of." he said, averting his gaze as he admitted defeat at his own hands. Sweet true lies could reach so far, but not when not followed through with determination. Stubbornness even. Something that, for once, Are lacked.
"What I do know is that there's bigger things out there, and we need to stand united against them. Doing something brash serves only the enemy. I can't tell you what to do, but I will do what I can to make sure this does not hinder the greater good, whatever that might turn out to be."
