"Edwin wants to push this forward through the formal political assembly, but that's far too slow. The situation in the slums made that perfectly clear. Our enemies won't give us that much time."
Morel said with an uncharacteristically serious expression, "Believe me, Colin, our cause is absolutely just."
"I'm just an ignorant nobody, so don't drag me into all this." Colin took the money pouch, added the money from Old Black Heart, split the total, and handed Ale her share in another pouch.
"Alright, I'll see you later."
With that, Colin turned and led Ale into the distance.
'The fact that Morel has been able to work with Edwin for so long must mean he really does have good intentions. But in any world, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and if this fails, the ones who come to settle the score won't care if you have a heart of gold...'
Just thinking about it gave Colin a headache.
