He took a deep breath. The Guild wasn't set up to oversee children, and with their struggle among Naturals already, being accused of kidnapping or brainwashing a Natural youth could put the Guild in a very difficult place. Quanil's bravery was inspiring, and their enthusiasm appreciated but...

We pursue knowledge for that purpose, even when that knowledge is painful or personally unpleasant to us. And we must think carefully of the consequences of using what we've learned and how it will affect not just us, but others. How will your actions affect your family? And... do you know if they all survived?" The last question was gently, his expression concerned.
