-Krenz, shrugging: "It's simple, General. they are still human, right? There is no way to know if someone who joins the Legions is going to betray us later. The fact remains that some of them did so within that Imperium. We cannot take chances like that, especially when the stakes are high."
- Thionson, shifted position on the sofa,his body already 2m high despite his bare 13 years of existence. He understood his dialogist viewpoint. However he also knew that his own personal history would be used as ammunition if he was to be revealed. A more analytical and detail of procedure would convince him.
-Thionson, speaking softly: "That's true, but I believe that we can prevent such situations from happening in the future. For example, I plan to create a new system of control over the legionnaires. It will ensure that every individual is accountable for his action. In addition, each soldier will receive training and education to help them understand how to deal with different types of people. These measures will make it more difficult for anyone to use their position to harm the Kin."
-Krenz, nodding,: "Very well then. If that is the case, I'll support you fully at the North Wind Council. But please don't think that I approve of everything you've done in Macedonia. Some of our kin lost their lives because of you. My faction will have weight in your decision, independence or not. Though you Kindred is of respectable in size, it is only 500 000 souls, alone, isolated, your Votann, as mighty as he maybe, will not be able to provide the materials for your prospect."
-Thionson, smiling coldly: "I agree. Let's keep this between ourselves. Besides, I haven't been named Grand Khal yet. And besides, nobody knows that you know anyway. So let me handle the rest of the process without interference from other members of the council."
- Krenz abruptly, his voice coarse: " If we are to make our bed together, Who do you support as second Great Khal? Tarnik hates you and Raspin will try to eat your independence away. As i am already a Grand Admiral, it would be unwise to appoint one of mine Kindred."
-Thionson, shaking head,: "Tarnik has never had any intention to destroy my Kindred; neither does he want to get involved in internal affairs of another. His main concern is to see an end to the hostilities with the Imperium and return to isolationism. That being said, he is not stupid enough to risk losing all the gains he has made by helping us during the lasts years. I'm sure he understands what I intend to do regarding the Legion, and he will supports it."
-Krenz, raising eyebrows: "Then why didn't you ask him before coming here?"
