I think so, in his way. He's thought about it, all of it, a great deal. But we're all susceptible to conditioning, after a time. Rationalisation sets in.
I will be interested to take any opportunity I might to speak with him. His perspective seems a valuable one, for all that one must remember what it is.
I will take your opinion over that of a mob, as I consider you a friend. Though I have seen it-- I was...troubled, I think, by Mr Edgeworth's response to him in this latest chaos. I can't think we're served by that sowing of discord, to see misdeeds in every act.
That one's got his head up his own arse, pardon the expression. But I've never seen anyone so singularly minded in character assassination. If it was better timed, I'd lend it more credence, but for goodness sake.
[ He sounds so fussily annoyed, removed of dire horrors, as if they were talking about the nerve of some colleague over the watercooler. ]
Sorry, Princess. I've seen Petrelli's mind, so I suppose I feel as though I know better, but in all fairness, I've not met Edgeworth.
I do hesitate to dismiss him out of hand, but to call it poorly timed and misdirected is--! He served his cause poorly by handing Mr Petrelli such a simple victory. The only injured party was, I fear, his damaged credibility.
( nathan petrelli is a politician; so is princess nuala, as her assessment of that embarrassingly public outburst indicates. presumably not news to charles, of coure. )
But perhaps I underestimate Mr Petrelli's detractors. Or overestimate them.
It would be nicer still if it didn't matter. We're all in this together, and we're all responsible for our own decisions.
A mutiny effects us all, of course, or could have, but no one presented much in the way of alternative, other than to stop. Regardless, we won't be trying that again any time soon.
I have heard, and indeed given voice to, many criticisms leveled at those of us who cut our teeth on the intrigue of rule. I doubt that your Mr Petrelli is any more immune to those failings than I myself, and I don't pretend to be-- but he wore the strength of his convictions in his own strong right arm, and he asked nothing of any of you that he was unwilling to commit his own life to. It's as important a context as your own agency.
Still-- of course. But I'm glad that you did try. I believe we will see it bear fruit in time.

[ Near enough, anyway, as far as the Tranquility permits. Charles Xavier and friendship, how does that go? ]
He certainly isn't everyone's.

Petrelli aside, your faith means a lot to me, you should know. I'm glad to have shared in it.
