[listen, harrow is a cynic and you don't have to listen to her but also she thinks she's right. she sighs, looking at her phone.]
It would be wise to start looking at this like a competition, because others already are. You don't have to compete the way he did. But any appeal to all of us working together and cooperating will likely ring hollow to those who see it for what it is.
If I think about it logically, I know you're right. And I know it's foolish of me to say 'people will come through in the end'. But a part of me still wants to believe that, as foolish as it may be.
[Tuuri is stuck between 'realistic' and 'hopeful' right now, and bridging the gap between the two is not easy.]
Maybe focusing on a smaller group effort would be better. Getting everyone to agree and work together is probably impossible, but cooperation with 5 or 6 other people might work.
I must decline any sort of formal arrangement, though I hope you will not take offense at my doing so. I speak for my House, and my actions reflect upon the honour and reputation of my House and my family, and as such, I do not enter into bonds and commitments lightly.
I cannot promise my interests will always align with yours, you see, and I would not want to say something now that becomes false later.

I was thinking that we might need a group meeting to tell everyone 'don't listen to Bucky, no more killing for party invitations.'
I'm not sure how well that will go over though. Do you think people would listen?

...as alive as we are here.

Date: 2023-02-13 03:39 am (UTC)Just don't be afraid to ask if you need anything, okay? I'll help without there being a formal arrangement.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-13 03:42 am (UTC)Understood. And the same goes for me - if you are in need of anything, I may help, provided I'm able to.
