Hmm. [cassius is thinking about the answers eustace gives-- typical for the erune, but still carries some ambiguity that he didn't expect eustace to deliver. usually there's no mistaking the meaning of what this skydweller means.

after all, war is always a destructive force, and both he and cassius should know that because they're in a war as well, even if many in the sky realm do not know. but cassius reminding eustace about it again serves no purpose.]

The people are allowed to think what they think because of the war. It should not concern us as soldiers. [which should say a lot of how the moon conducts itself, and cassius' stance on such things.

but there are no civilians on the moon. every single one of them are soldiers, contributing to their society in some way.] But who is the Regent?
