Nalvis sees the Graggorid and can not help but notice the comparisons between their faces and the one that he sees reflected in still water. They do not stop to engage the threats of the tribals so that maybe one day they can become something more. He says to the group, "Perhaps people like these are the examples used to push this 'cleansing' ideology."
Mekric says, "But the actions of those from Eastaboga under the sway of this Shon Yu defeat their own argument. If their point is that they have to protect themselves from the threats and aggression of other people, and then respond with threats and aggression, they have proven no better than anyone else. No matter how large a group, the choices of that group are made up of individual decisions. Most people follow a leader, even into harmful actions, because it is easier to follow along and cooperate than it is to struggle against violent opposition. Before long the decisions become a chain of thought that people feel invested in for their own security. If the group goes down, then they go down too. That's what happened in Eastaboga and in the same way in that Graggorid camp. Leadership helps the group along with one hand, and hampers with the other. If only there was some way to rotate leadership positions to new people. That way society would constantly learn from it's own mistakes instead of having to be forced into change." She rubs her chin as she thinks.
Arbrine exchanges a glance with Quill and replies, "Just let me know what to burn, and I'll do it." She gives a meaningful look to the Graggorid camp, holds up her hands, and manipulates Way to allow them to burst into flame, hopefully where the tribe can see it as they pass by. They continue on their way to the Right Branch Heights.
