[For just a brief moment, Vander almost wants to press the issue. Amos is a good guy—a very straightforward kind of person, but he’s got a good head on his shoulders. So part of him wants to make him see sense. To question why he’d take a cold and almost callous view of the situation like this.
But Vander has learned over years spent trying to maintain a fragile peace back home when to leave well enough alone.
So he hesitates, nearly as still as Amos has become while he takes a moment to watch him. Takes in the feeling of that quiet plea from his fellow Exalt. The he exhales, and when he speaks, his words have the tentative air of offering an olive branch.]
Guess we might need to agree to disagree on that one.
[Alright. He won’t push it if Amos won’t. Not that it leaves them in a great position here, with that precious sand just out of reach and no real consensus about its purpose. But if they can avoid getting into it here, now, then fine.]
We got more than enough on our plate in this place as it is.
