[ looks at him for a while, as if she's sizing him up. ]
If I tried to tear down that barrier between us and the arena tomorrow, and rushed the stage, and tried to make it so Narja wouldn't get executed for views, would you join me?
[ she drops her gaze. mollymauk has just won a competition he may or may not have known he was in. she's smiling a little, though. ]
It was a rhetorical question. I expected you to say no, and then I would have said, well, I have to be okay, because there's nothing we can do about all this.
I hate this game. I want to tear it down. But I'm - [ she laughs, just for a second ] - I'm a coward, and a hypocrite, 'cause I want my wish more.
[ some people are easier to bring back than others! ]
We're all cowards and hypocrites sometimes. I want my wish too, and I'm playing their game as well. Don't think it's so much about doing it all morally perfectly, as much as trying to make it balance out. Try and do the best you can with the hand you're dealt.
[ welllllll it's a little complicated, but mizi has shared plenty, so it only seems fair. ]
Someone I know is in a bit too deep with some powerful bastards. You talk about your Segyein - maybe a bit similar. They used to be people, but they aren't anymore. Something more like gods, and he can't escape without help. Apart from them wanting to destroy the world and such. So, a wish seems like the right thing to try.

I don't know that I agree, but if you say so. [ ... ] It's alright, if it's not okay. Doesn't have to be.

Done dumber things in my life. Can't say I have much confidence it'll work, but I'd join you.
[ he clicks his tongue. ]
We need something to take the barrier down. Magic. Or something that's powerful enough to knock it out. Even for a few seconds.

Maybe it's better if my entire team gets their wishes. I don't know. I like them, though.
