On one hand, talking things out may result in an attack. On the other hand, attacking would result in retaliation. The only way this could be resolved were if the peace talks worked. Starrynight could be a convincing individual; he just needed time - and faith that things would work out from his own groupmates. And the latter shouldn't have been as hard to get as it was.
The polar bear snorted at Maes' comments. "So, do you not understand what we're up against? Not to belittle you and your ideas - which are good and could work -, but only a handful of us here are actually capable of taking on Tanglewood. Throwing ourselves at them'll only leave us defenseless. And that's a fucking death sentence." Her voice was not angry but matter-of-fact. This was true after all. While the Ascendants may have a few skilled warriors, it wasn't enough to take on the whole of Tanglewood. That was wishful thinking. "I don't like sitting and waiting anymore than you guys, but in this situation, we have to. If Starry thinks it can work, then we need to have his back whether we like it or not." She wanted to agree with Roy and Maes and everyone else in disagreement with Starrynight, but she knew the reasons for their leader's want to remain at a distance.
