Ah....I'm still leaning what it means, in a place like this.
[ Hama sniffs again. Then, slowly, she stands up. Her eyes are red and swollen, and she feels fragile still. Like she might start crying again if she drips too far into the dark and this time she might not be able to stop on her own. But there's a determination in her expression that wasn't there before, a resolution. Because she has to do this, and it's a role she's played before.
It's so important to lead people to enlightenment. And no matter what she says, Angela is strong and kind and maybe she's even wise. Maybe she could be like Kol. Someone like that deserves a chance to find enlightenment, don't they? ]
I don't know what the people need here. But I'm learning, Angela. And some things are universal, I think.
[ Hama nods, blinking rapidly. She has to get this right. For her mother, for the cause. The climb. ]
In a place like this, a warrior should protect people. So they have the room to make their own choices. So they can focus on something other than just staying alive. It's so hard to stay alive, when that's all you have. I don't know the rest. I don't....I'm learning. I'll do better, I will. But a warrior should stand with the ones who can't fight. So the choices we make aren't defined by violence.
