Mary bit her lip at Reno's question. She held off in answering in case anyone wanted to speak up, but when nobody did she finally answered.
"I've thought about it, clearly, but you all seem to still think me capable of it and I have to honor that. I just hope our native fellows think the same. Thanks to Palitutu I've been absent from Aerilon for a goodly time." Thanks to Palitutu and Mary's own crashing of her airship into the Ultima Weapon. Of course the Calamity didn't help either.
"I guess we'll all have to keep helping each other out in all of this. But if you think I'm doing poorly I want you all to tell me. It's one thing for me to second guess myself, but if I am actually acting in detriment to our cause then I want to you know I don't want you to keep it quiet. Just try to come to me first." She didn't think any of them would go behind her back. They were all capable of it, but the trust was that they wouldn't.
"But until that day, we do what we can to keep the people of this world safe while the Heroes do what they must. And I hope it doesn't come down to us needing to scurry out the bad numbers in our company." The Sage's vision and Haytham's hunting of the Assassins in the previous cycle were still strong in her mind. She didn't want the Heroes to turn on each other, but she'd be a fool not to expect it as a possibility even now.
