I still think there's courage in that. You didn't know how anyone else would react, but you made a decision.

If nothing else, the courage of your convictions.

...Thank you. But - I don't think it's cowardly to hesitate when someone's life is in the balance, either.

I don't, either. But I think it depends on the reason for hesitation. There is a difference between hesitating to consider the weight of an action and hesitating because of a fear of repercussions.

Which did you do, tonight?

[good question. she actually thinks about it.]

I hesitated because I didn't want to hurt Camille, especially when I didn't know if I was right. But I also hesitated because I didn't want Camille to hate me. So both, perhaps.

I don't think it's a bad thing to not want to be hated, Laudna.
