Balance of the Courts

Yuya's not very talkative as people detail the dangers of the Huntsman and the Winter Queen, and everything in Polaris. Partly it's that some of them have more direct experience and a more valuable testimony. The other part is his uncertainty if he wants to appeal for change with war.

He waits until the end, when every other topic tapers off before he speaks up. "I... I have something else I want to ask about. About the Courts."

He takes a deep breath before moving forward to address the Summer Queen, giving a respectful bow before continuing. "About changing your civilization. You're worried about a war, but... aren't you already in one?"

"I know the Fae believe that the Courts have to balanced to the whole universe falls apart. That's why you take over worlds, for the power in them. And then the people in those worlds get hurt, and your people get hurt fighting with them and the Winter Court! You're both trying to get more power, but neither of you can actually win. The suffering that happens trying to stay balanced by fighting each other won't end, either."

He spreads his hands wide. "I know something has to be done about the Winter Queen and the Huntsman's actions, first. But is continuing to war and conquer with each other really the best way to try and keep things in order?"
