[Hey, instead of talking about him and how useful he was or wasn't, let's focus on this Weave thing. Since Kaede actually knows what it is, maybe he can make some sense of one of the things he was completely unable to understand while he was underneath Thay.]

N-no, I don't think she's a god...just a very powerful dark sorceress. [She certainly has the evil cackle down, plus all the creepy purple energies.] But she said that she drank from "the Wellspring of Magic" and became one with it. And that's why killing her will destroy the Weave...

[And now it makes sense. If the Weave is where magic comes from, if it's something that's everywhere...now he understands just how dire the consequences are. Why she was using that as a threat.]

Hmmmm...

[That does sound pretty dire! Kaede's personal research didn't go too deep into the specifics of the Weave -- she knows it exists, that's about it -- but nobody has to be a scholar to figure out that someone becoming one with the source of all magic is pretty bad news.]

Well, killing her shouldn't be our first solution, anyway...

[She chews her bottom lip for a moment. It still feels sensitive, to say something like that in front of Shuichi when he was present for what she did back in the Killing Game, but it feels like it's important to say. Especially with the stakes that high, they can't afford to kill her.]

Yeah, we'll tell the others. I'm sure if we all put our heads together, we'll come up with the right solution.

[Well at least Kaede learned from her mistake in the killing game. Granted, Shuichi never doubted that Kaede would have done what she did if she felt she had any other options. She was pushed into a corner, mentally and emotionally. That's not really the case here. Granted, they're just as pressed for time now as they were then...]

N-no, of course not. And I'm not saying it should be, I'm just repeating what she said. Obviously, she thought it was a possibility Professor Rainer might consider, even as a last resort, and took steps to prevent her from doing so.
