Xiulan lifts her brows a little curiously, Seyli’s comment on government encapsulating so much more about the environment the alt grew up in than the words alone show.
“Oh, I’d say every form of government I’ve ever head of - and humanity, where I’m from, has tried out a lot - has its problems; it’s more about picking which ones you want and which you don’t.” The twist of her lips is darkly humorous. “If you can.
“I know what kind I’d term the hexarchate, except it’s a word I’ve yet to find an equivalent to in the High Language. Which I suppose says a lot right there.”
About Jedao: “You don’t like him.” It’s not a question on the surface, but her expression is one that invites comment if Seyli wishes to offer it.
A light shrug, made with her hands, comes in regard to the evacuation plan. “Any base should have one; seemed she was concerned there isn’t one. Which, good, right? But given we’re therefore talking unspecified threat, I was thinking about what our biggest issue would likely be. Whether looking to destroy the base outright or planing a boarding action, the thing to do first would be to take the moths out of the picture. So having people at weapon’s stations ASAP is a top priority. If not enough people can manage it, well, that’s a priority too.” Xiulan grins a sharp sort of grin.
[She notices Seyli’s body language, but doesn’t have the background with Kel formation instinct (or faking it!) to click to what might be going on.]
Re: I think I recognize that dress. Maybe. (Paging Seyli)
