Oh. No.
I meant more as in, 'We've appointed someone to handle that problematic kid, and it can be their problem. He was so much less difficult before all the people who used to keep in line were dead. Then he spent that year letting everyone think he was dead, galavanting around the world and consorting with Choristers who gave him some strange ideas about ethics and religion and faith and duty to things that aren't us. Like God. And humanity. And now he's off with a bunch of other Mages, associating with Hollowers and Orphans broadening his horizons. WE MUST STOP THIS MADNESS!!!'
They wouldn't send me here to spy on you. They've always thought I was too close to the other Traditions to be loyal to them. And I am, despite our rather pronounced disagreements. They have their flaws, but there is such potential for something greater now that there is real cause for them to see that.
I've at least always seen where they were coming from. I was trained outside their Order first, I didn't come back to a Hermetic chantry after the thing in Phoenix, I let them think I was dead for a year and only admitted I was alive because I ran into one of the like six people who would have recognized me. Their lack of faith has never really disturbed me. I understand it. I've certainly done very little to address it.
