whoops I accidentally an application to distantskies

[amonfire]

 The idea of the soul residing outside the body does not ring so dissimilar from another easily corruptible force from my own world. The bending arts were abused passed the point of recognition as a spiritual gift, and the soul is always the first to break when absolute power corrupts absolutely.

That said, I have little faith -- so to speak -- in anything that sounds even remotely like it.

I agree with all that you've said, Amon. [Truth. Though nothing about his expression changes.]

[amonfire]

[ The hood and mask obscure his gaze, but it burns all the same. ] Nothing speaks louder than disquiet in amidst ranks, Lieutenant. Please, speak freely.

[tinted]

[It is a gaze that is felt more than seen, and it is a gaze that is met. The Lt. nods politely at the offer.]

I do have an inquiry, if I may.

Given your thoughts on those with unfair and impure advantages, suppose an individual with such an impurity chose to use it to support our cause. Would you accept?

[By all accounts the answer to this should be obvious. It would almost appear as if he is sassin' you, Amon.]

[amonfire]

[ you're a dick lieutenant :c ]

Speaking in hypotheticals, [ his voice is a razor wire wrapped in silk ] this imaginary ally of yours would only serve our cause in an ancillary role, and would never be accepted by the movement as a whole. That is only if their impurity would be worth the trouble in the first place.

What sort of person would choose such a discordant life, I wonder?

[tinted]

[Your fault for being a tremendous butt, Amon.]

What sort of person, indeed. [This isn't to claim that Amon is such a person; there is hardly enough proof of it that the Lt. has witnessed personally. But he's given serious consideration to the Avatar's accusations and the rumors of his own fate.] It's understandable, I'm sure, why one might question the nature of that person.

[Let it never be said that the Lt. isn't bound to his Equalist convictions.]

[ you are sleeping on the couch for the next millenia if the bloodbending doesn't kill you ]

Your concerns are not without ground, but may I address a key factor in your argument? If we were to make such a concession in this scenario, then it can be assumed that they simply wish...to save themselves for last.
