#i think that scene would be a great payoff to this scene

I wish Moash and Venli had gotten a chance for a conversation in ROW. Cause I don’t think there will be a good opportunity for it now, and I think they’d have some good stuff to talk about.

They’re both characters who outside forces might expect them to side with the kholins, moash as part of bridge four and venli as a knight radiant. And they’re both characters who I don’t think could ever really do that, given their past with them.

Moash is definitely stuck in very binary thinking though- he knows he doesn’t want to side with the kholins, and so he turns to odium and the fused who he sees freeing the singers. Are they perfect? Absolutely not. But he figures they’re better than the kholins in his mind, and “good” doesn’t seem like an option so he’ll take better. Venli, meanwhile, knows that Odium’s forces are not a good thing for the singers by any means, and is forging a third path of actual freedom for them. Not slaves to humans nor to odium. Moash is too caught up in hatred right now to act on any of this (due to the odium and all) but I think it could have set up great seeds for later.

This could also be used to reinforce Venli’s decision to not join the main group of Knights Radiant, when she hears Moash’s side of things, if she started to have doubts about it.
