People will come back at the end. That's the deal we all made, and if it means making something happen...sometimes sacrifices have to be made, Zoe. It's nothing personal and hey, coming back at the end of this is more than some people are getting already.

If you're smart enough, you'll figure out a better plan to stay alive. That's all.

Calm down a little. [Sheesh.] What do you suggest then?

I'm not telling my followers to do anything. I'm giving them free reign to do what's necessary. If they don't wanna act, fine. If they do, even better.

And that's where you're wrong. I'd be more popular if so many of you weren't already biased to what kind of connotation a name like Cunning has. [Tell them they're wrong, Zoe.]

Listen. In a game like this, it's about strategy. It doesn't matter how you play it as long as you get the outcome you want. What's wrong with the free will to act on your own instead of being a pawn of the gods?

No, there's the whole murder thing, too. [It sounds like they're rolling their eyes a little.] I'm not gonna actively tell people to go kill other people, but I'm not going to interfere if they have their own ideas.

You think this is about not caring? I'm wounded. [Are they.]

Here's something to think about. When's the last time you've had full control of your own life and your own destiny?

What, you think this is some reverse psychology thing? [A snort.] I'm seriously asking here.
