"Contingency plans, I hope," said Kitanya, again quiet, but with
conviction. "Because moving prrrematurrely might destrrroy someone who
could be an ally orrr morrre. Therrre is the rrrisk of moving late, yes,
but I don't think that is as serrrious as destrrroying Lasiterrr, who could
be exactly what we've all been waiting forrr, and that would lead to
complete rrruin."

"I only counsel patience. Plan; yes, of courrrse. But plans and their
execution arrre two differrrent things, and I would only say wait on the
latterrr."
