Of all the idiotic - "To have a traitor for an ally is to have an enemy in waiting. Learn all you want." You could learn all you want about falling in a pit of spikes, but it wouldn't help you were you inevitably impaled now would it? "Anyone who is signing up for this venture and aligning with her has questionable intentions at best or is just naive."
Naive, and possibly a traitor themselves. Things were pretty black and white with Jayati. Another reason she considered herself a soldier, not a general.
Another drink of her tea, even if she would rather have liqour at this point. Or maybe just something more calming. Both were things she preferred when the subject of her sister and her dealings came up. "No. I can't." The fact that he had the audacity to ask her this when she had witnessed War on the large scale and small, in her own home made it worse somehow. "My sister is doing this to avenge our parents' deaths, not for anyone's betterment. She doesn't give a shit who gets hurt in the process, and clearly, you don't either." Her fingers flexed at her side, stretching from where they had become tense, joints cracking with the motion. Normally she would be disappointed in herself for being so tense but this was personal and she felt like Summerview was in the crosshairs because of her, and because of Xi's - "The only reason she gives a shit about Summerview is because of me and her abandonment issues. She's our father's progeny, that one." The words were thrown down like dirty laundry, a foul stench after being left too long to grow its own form of disgusting life.
