It is... a low bar that you're praising me for.

[embarrassed.....]

[hasteful]

... it might be higher than you think.

[people are cruel. buzen knows that. he doesn't mind being seen as a tool - it's just nice to hear that others might feel differently]

Either way, thank you.

We'll see what happens once we find whoever did this.

[allomantic]

...I would doubt that, I think.

[people are cruel, but she still believes there should be a baseline of decency that anyone meets, even if it very often doesn't happen that way.]

You feel certain that we will find them, then?

[hasteful]

Certain... Hm...

[ . . . . ]

I almost feel like we have no choice.

It would be worse for morale if we don't, and more dangerous.

[allomantic]

Yes, but... Both of those are true, but they don't mean we'll succeed.

[hasteful]

They don't.

But the desperation provides considerable incentive.

We can always prepare for what'd happen if we don't find them.

[allomantic]

That's true...

[but her pessimism]

Do you think they would hurt someone again, were we not to find them?

[hasteful]

[buzen nods]

There's no reason to think that they'd stop, if something has ahold of them and we don't know how to remove it.
