“That’s vague,” Alec commented.
“We can’t exactly share our game plan with you if we’re going to wind up on opposite sides,” I pointed out.
…fair point.
“It’s a hassle. Why make things complicated for all of us, because one member of our group has a moral quibble?”
Also a fair point from the perspective of someone who doesn’t really care about Dinah. It’s a very believable stance for Alec to take here. He doesn’t want to deal with this shit.
“A preadolescent girl was kidnapped, with our help, and she’s spent the last few months in a dungeon, drugged out of her mind, all so Coil can use her power,” I said. “That’s not a quibble.”
Alec sighed dramatically. “I’m just pulling your legs. World’s going to end in a couple of years. Won’t kill me to help you make peace with yourself before it does.”
…well, okay then! Glad we got that sorted.
So Alec’s on a nihilistic streak, apparently, though thankfully it’s the “why not” variety, not the “why bother”.
