Alexander grimaced and stared at Lebanon for a moment, then slamming his hand to the table. "Don't you think I haven't considered that?! If I wanted nothing to change, nobody to be hurt, I could live my life pitifully selling things without ever voicing an opinion or thought." His eyes narrowed at Lebanon. "Yes I know things are going to become chaotic, and death and suffering will follow. I wish it wasn't necessary, but I doubt it can be avoided. In order to rid ourselves of the abusive nobility we will have to become the nemesis for them in this city. We are going to have to face these things with full knowledge of this."<br/><br/>He straightened his back and stepped aside, looking away, and lifting a bomb from the pocket, turning the small egg around. "If changing the world was possible without any blood, without any violence, I would try. That is not the reality however." The egg's black skin warmed up in his palm as a minor hint of magic embedded itself into it. A tiny bit of explosive force, his anger. He looked at the stone fireplace.<br/><br/>"I want nothing more than to shove one of these 'things' down the throat of the head tyrant and take cover." He lifted the egg high and tossed it at the nearby fireplace. Large target, and fairly close, he still made sure to throw it with caution.<br/><br/>The egg spinned in the air and impacted with the stone, before a fiery blast blackened most of the stone in the fireplace, blowing smoke up the chimney and into Alexander's face, scattering broken pieces of old wooden logs from the fireplace to the floor. The metal inside the fireplace was heated up, but Alexander doubted it had suffered any serious harm, those bombs were not that powerful,<em>yet.</em><br/><br/>"If we want to dream of a change we are going to have to prepare ourselves to paying the price." He turned to face the others, stepping closer and resting his hands on the table. Looking from one to another.<br/><br/>"Even in the moments of doubt the goal is clear to me however. I want to build a better world for those who come after us. Even if I end up paying the bloodprice for that myself. I hope to live to see the dawn when this city is free, no, this nation is free, but even if I do not I want to be part of setting it in motion. That's my conviction. That's my belief."<br/><br/>He lowered his hands and sighed. "I don't believe all nobles to be bad, but enough of them are that we need to change the system that is broken." Alexander looked at Daniel and Sophia, then turning his eyes to Talanna. A faint redness on the alchemist's cheeks as he pulled his gaze away from this elf's chest, damn distractions he told himself quietly, looking over at Asleod, and then Samuel and Belinda. "I hope you can agree with me on that much at least." He stepped a bit back again, casting a look over at Lebanon and Fenris. He looked at the elf girl that had remained mostly quiet, and scratched the back of his head awkward.<br/><br/>He hadn't meant to start ranting again. This had to be the last time tonight, he told himself in his mind quickly.
