But do we know her as well? [that is his worry, above all else.]

[bindsthedead]

I think we do.

[Sabriel is not unaware that they have not known Entr'i for very long- but then, they did not know Remi or So-Yeon for very long, and people made the choice to trust them too.]

Enough to trust her, at least to the extent we trusted So-Yeon and Remi.

[calmness]

She seems as if she is honest and virtuous, as they were. [there's that comfort, at least.] And not hungry for power.

[bindsthedead]

No. We've been fortunate so far, that save for Cheruvia, most orb holders have been relatively decent people.

[Well, except for the Highest One, presumably.]

[calmness]

It does not feel like that will change. [a little more certainly.] At least not in this case.

We should both rest and prepare for whatever comes next. I am not sure we are all ready for it.

[bindsthedead]

When have we ever been? Every mission's taken us by surprise more than once. All we can do is prepare as best we can.

[calmness]

Another truth I cannot argue with.

Perhaps one of these missions we will be able to prepare better. [and coordinate, too, but that is a task for someone more confident in their own leadership and judgement than he is right now.]

[bindsthedead]

The problem is that while we're given enough information to have a few leads, it's never enough to go after the orb immediately. Although coordinating our information gathering might be possible.

[calmness]

Next mission, I will figure out a way for us to be better informed of each other’s progress. [he does not trust himself but maybe this he can do.] Sometimes that is enough to help us connect what is missing and fill in the pieces that elude us.

[bindsthedead]

Yes- To understand not just what we know, but areas of interest that have gone uninvestigated. Some things can't be learned simply by having polite chats by the locals- we need to seek out and uncover things that have been deliberately hidden.

[calmness]

You are right in that. Next mission, we will find a way to better coordinate. [ he will make sure of it. ]

[bindsthedead]

Well, as long as we're not divided and unable to communicate at the start, it will be simpler.
