[Teren waves off his apology, refusing to even acknowledge it, it's that unnecessary.]
On the contrary, Anders, you're panicking. I've already told you why I think this is happening, but you're not likely to agree as long as you feel trapped. [And talking him down is helping her, too: it enrages her that there are people in the poor districts who will be without help over this, but is mass hysteria a worthwhile tradeoff?]
People will die here too, as people do, all the time, for stupid unfair reasons. [Sighing, she looks back toward where the department head offices are, imagining that tiny wisp of a tattooed woman collapsing into herself. She doesn't know Beleth well, but she was one of the Warden camp regulars and isn't unfamiliar in appearance or deed.]
Beleth isn't the sort to make a decision rashly, or to let people die for no reason. I... [she rolls her eyes at herself.] ...can't believe I'm saying this, but perhaps the people in charge know what they're doing this time.
