[ Amon switches to private once it becomes clear this conversation has veered into more than just his brother's political agenda. What he does find surprising is how oddly mollified he is by what her assertions they will not be condemned, here. ]

I find your say in all of this...reassuringly pragmatic. As for my brother I don't want to see blood on the ground- especially his, and for the time being I will support the idea that the acumen of the foreign populace can be trusted to see corruption if it occurs within their political circus act.

[ As for the issue of bending... ]

The destructive power of bending that allowed for others to lord themselves over their fellow man and muscle their way into position only for it to be lauded as 'the way things are.' That is my problem. That it should be the cornerstone of everything that defines us when there are no ordinances no moral structure in its design to regulate such dangerous skill. That is my problem.

Those who would threaten and abuse reacted to nothing but what they so easily gave: fear. It would be unwise of me to assume it is the same in every world, or that I have some right to hurl myself into the throng of an alien society with the intention of changing it. My grievances are with my world and mine alone.

Regardless, you will not see me fall back on...old habits.
