The dubious expression on Madi's face speaks to the truth of John's assessment. She hadn't even thought of happiness as part of what they're striving for, much less factored it in to what must be done. She wasn't happy to be left on Nascere for two years, waging guerrilla war while Flint and Silver (because they are always a unit, Flint and Silver, never James and John) vied for more power, more assets in the south, but it was necessary. Was it not necessary?
"You know, you both know," She says, firm. "I will do what needs to be done. Happiness, or the lack of it, does not sway that."
