Lilliane smiles, although the smile does not reach her eyes and it seems like a rather sad smile. "It's always easier to blame someone else. Be it the mages in your world, or in this world the blame put on the Ascended. In my world, seventy million people died only because the people of one country decided to blame a certain ethnicity for all their problems." She makes a short pause. "Most people are selfish. There are always people who are assholes. Among the mages, the humans, the dwarves, and whatever else there is in your world. There are always good and bad. But taking the few who did bad things and using them as an excuse to blame all your problems on the group as a whole is not okay."
Listening to his rant about his survival, Lilliane was calm for the most time. Yet when he said his last sentence, there was a twitch of the eyebrows, barely enough to show a hint of anger. "I ask you not to judge people by their appearance. You do not know their past. Even more, their past might not seem significant to you, since you have different values than them. However, to everyone, their own suffering is very real and important."
She shook her head slightly. "Taking simple logic, it depends on how long the bug is dead. The longer he lies there dead, the more water will have evaporated. And if decomposition has started, the water won't be safe to drink anyway. Even if you test it now, there won't be any way to use it in a survival situation, since when you come across a dead bug, you won't know how long it had been there."
