They haven't asked me to do anything on their behalf. I'd like to make that clear, sir.
I do hail from a place that's far less brutal than yours outside the field of battle. I'm a soldier, myself, and if this were the front lines, and they were under my command, I wouldn't tolerate that kind of behavior. This isn't, though, and they're not. They're civilians, the same as most of the people here, ones who haven't been living in constant war and vigilance against a greater enemy. They're still trying to figure out how to survive with so many clashing cultures. Same as the rest of us.
Being flexible is the only way we're going to be able to work cohesively as a unit here. It's important to remember that we're ultimately all on the same side, right? We want to get out of Norfinbury. Fighting with each other only benefits our real enemies. I've already spoken with Rhys and asked him to stop antagonizing you. I'll be doing the same for Angel.
But I need to know everyone's going to take a step back and take a breath and not waste energy threatening and enraging each other. I understand you're angry, and you've every right to be. They do, as well, given the topic at hand. You're not from the same world. Misunderstandings are bound to happen, especially when they're wed to continuing to think in the terms and bounds of their universe, not anyone else's.
But then I think we're all a little guilty of that at times.
