Tomeal raises a single eyebrow and shifts his gaze toward Selina. They were soon going to have to make this jump and they needed to gain every advantage offered to them. But Ning wasn't a soldier that you could just order to do something. You had to appeal to his common sense and personal values.
"I guess you're right. It's better to just make the jump tomorrow without any practice. That way you can be surprised and hope adrenaline will get you through any unforeseeable complications. I AM curious what you expected when you volunteered for this trip. Simon informed all of us that we had to jump before we left New Crobuzon. Do you have special abilities or magic that was going to get you to the surface without the parachute? Or do you plan to offer moral support from above the clouds? You understand that if not for limited space, others would have come with us to help. So taking the space of a willing participant when you must have known you have an aversion to flying kind of means you purposely put the mission in jeopardy. But maybe you like it in this world or you find helping to rebuild your tribe too daunting so you'd rather them dwindle in number until they they're extinct. No judgement here. It's your people not mine. I'm sure your tribe have many other settlements around them that will happily lend them a hand to recover from Unreth's decimation and not exploit their situation."
