They are not all you have. They are a function of our prison.
[Silco snorted softly, taking another sip from his tumbler. He had been called similar over his many years of trying to formulate a movement, to drag the Undercity from repressed stupor to a rebellious violent mob. Most didn't believe he could do it or that he was the right person to do it. He'd learned a long time ago that the negative opinions of others were usually based in fear of change, fear of the unknown, or fear of violence against them.
He could understand how action could change opinion, and in some cases, it would. People would naturally want to be in on the action if they say momentum growing or had faith that something interesting and possibly better could emerge from it. Until then, most would wait on the sidelines and see how the chips fell. He expected it was worst with the natives of this place.]
And how will helping a sick native provide you the power to push for independence? I have no doubt that you can prove your worth without having to run across the entire surface of this place.
[However, he knew that every leader had their own manner of building their confidence. If this was what she needed to do, he supposed that he wouldn't stop her. Still, a trip like that could be a week or two, and while that wasn't the longest she had lost herself in a project, he had means of physically checking on her to assure himself everything was still in order.]
Perhaps. Have you explored medicinal options in town for this person? Ethlyn is a healer of note.
