[ a quiet vow to never put himself in a position where that's his problem again. he's a neurosurgeon and a sorcerer. neither of those roles are famously renowned for imbuing their practitioners with anything resembling people skills. Damian is arguably better at diplomacy than he is, evidenced by replying to and encouraging everyone and not the single person you disagree with whoops, one of the unspoken reasons why Stephen didn't take this out of his hands.
as for the rest, it's not a conversation he has the energy for - not on this forum. enough words in his head today and with the outcome unlikely to be favorable he'll pass on any more. anyway, if Stephen's not going to be willing to organize any kind of overhaul, and God knows he's got enough on his plate, he's no horse in the race. ]
Obviously. Nothing on a mutual, group-wide scale can progress without majority agreement. And it won't have unquestionable value unless we're all considered in the end result.
