Pessimism
He wishes he had faith.
Years of dealing with the Council, Janos and Stephen, Alanna... years of pretending, years of being on guard every moment have eroded Kristian's faith. He watches this crop of idealistic young Kithrayna and their friends plotting revolution... and he fears for them and for their Houses.
It is not that he stands on the side of the Council. It is only that he must protect his House. If he provoked Alanna and her court...
He saw what happened to House Bartomn, House Tamra. She made sure of that.
He cannot endanger his House. No matter what he believes.
Still - Kristian watches, and he wishes that he had faith that the city would be restored, that this would not lead to further destruction.
