10th Zi'da 717
When Kura talked about the timing of letters, Faith considered for just a moment and then spoke. "Next council meeting, I'm going to suggest that we put forward a proposition where we use the Eclipse portals, between all three places, in order to speed up mail from all three. That makes sound sense from all three places. If we sent mail once every ten trials, it would speed things up enormously, still. " Faith smiled at Kura and nodded. That was the good thing about discussing things, of course, it allowed you to come to conclusions, to come up with thoughts which one might not when alone.
Kura's question was genuine and Faith chuckled. "No one ever accused me of entirely logical, Kura." The young woman gestured around, somewhat helplessly. "I have to do it. Freedom, real freedom. Subscribing to system even as a stepping stone goes against everything I believe. Whilst good sense tells me that by doing this, I'm saving lives by avoiding bloodshed, my heart tells me that I'm subscribing to the very system that I seek to overthrow. Hence, guilt." It was simple and it was clear and she knew it about herself, she said. She also knew that it wasn't logical but it was part of what drove her. "I have the same thing in medicine," Faith explained. Having cured the Rot, she felt bad for all those people who she could have saved if only she'd cured it earlier. It was who she was and it was part of what made her push, always.
Kura was going to the Derby, that was a good thing she thought and she said so. It would allow them to get some information. She'd wanted to go but Padraig was insistent that, so close to the due date of the baby's arrival, it wasn't a good idea. That said, though, she nodded. "We've got a plan. Thank you, Kura. I feel calmer than I have since he disappeared." That was why they'd had this conversation, of course. Faith knew that Kura had got her distracted and her mind on something else, just for a little while. It had worked. "I should get home, but if anything happens, I'll let you know I promise." Faith smiled at her friend and put a hand on her arm. "The world is a better place for you, Kura and I am so grateful that you are my friend and I yours. Thank you. So much." Then she grinned and shook her head. "Over emotional pregnant woman alert." She grinned and made her way home feeling, it must be said, more clear and able to focus than she had since the 5th.
