Who's the worst person you've met here and why? Pref an Outsider but if they've all been cool I'll open it up to whoever

I'm making a list

Bonus: if you guess a number between 1 and 100 and get closest to the one I'm thinking of I've got smth for you

No, it's that topsiders that get hurt in the undercity lure enforcers, boy. If we are too dangerous to them, they remind us of our place.

Then remind them of theirs old man
Violence is righteous when it's in defence of oneself
It's a last resort yes but unavoidable sometimes

There are degrees to things
Spectrums
You weigh too heavily on one side
To an extreme that's unnecessary here
We must adapt to the situation we're in

I don't think you understand the power dynamic, boy. That is precisely what I was working toward all this time. It's everything we've done and everything we will do until we're out from under their boots.

It's also what loses a man everything, and forces him to start over. I weigh heavily because it is the only language that speaks. It's the only one that works. I know this because that other way is ineffective and poor. It leaves people starving and withering away while the fat and complacent feast on their shares too.

Here, too, I see it. They feast on our work, when all I ask is for them to pull their weight as well. They could be the monsters too, if they simply just tried.

If you think your method of obtaining power and success for your people will be effective in the future I shudder to think of how many men and women will abandon you by the end
If this is how you treat your comrades
By belittling them pumping them full of drugs and claiming to be above everyone then you're going to destroy morale and they're going to betray you
But that's a self-fulfilling prophecy for you isn't it

Silco human beings are possessed of facets
A small percentage feast on our work yes they'd let the world end to fill their stores
I wouldn't be surprised if they wrote the land off completely
That's what the rich have always done

But the civilians in this city are trying
I work with paramedics and firemen who do more for this world than you do every day
Even just the people volunteering or trying to help by simply staying indoors during the attacks
They're trying
Don't lump them all together like that's representative of anything more than your paranoid delusions

[ They just keep doing this. They say they can't understand each other, but then they just get back into monologuing ]

Oh yes, I do not doubt that they do more for this world. To their own detriment too. And how does this world reward them? Do they even have livelihoods that pay for their meals? Do they have comfortable places to live? While they save the man whose heart is giving out in the middle of his office, what home do your companions go to?

Once, I would have believed that there was value in that sort of work. Oh, but it's easy to believe it when it hasn't been challenged, isn't it?

No, I've seen how quickly it melts away, Kaladin. Your paramedics, your firemen? How many burn out? How many are left with nothing because they have lost their ability to care? How many of your fellow workers take their frustrations out when you aren't looking?

I suspect the number would surprise you. Because people so often will default to the person that they truly are deep down, where they try to conceal it.

You ask me countless questions you think you know the answers to
But you don't Silco
The truth of the matter is you're scared to look at the positives

This is the last time we speak on this
We'll never agree and the breath we waste on each other is better spent elsewhere

( says it at least ONE MORE TIME )

Again, you assume. I am not scared of the positives. I simply see them for what they are. Little things to deceive us, when they are as fleeting as anything else.

[ God why is he so secretly edgey? ]

You are correct, however. We will never agree. Kaladin, it has never been my intention to convince you. Has it been yours to convince me?

( they're both in an edge competition and not the sexy kind.........unless )

I was trying to bridge a gap between us
Seek mutual understanding to better work together
Come to some kind of accord
Convincing you would've been a nice accident but I don't believe in those
That'd involve good luck and I have none

Honestly I did think you were trying to convince me
Or break me somehow

[ unless...? ]

Oh, now breaking sounds a great deal more like me, actually.

That is quite the thought, isn't it?

Yes it is
Quite the useless thought
I'm already broken Silco the cosmere already beat you to it

Oh, did they?

I never would have guessed. I suppose some of us just break differently, don't they?
