Thorwald listens in on the conversations with a bemused look on his face, but decidees to keep his dreams to himself for now. After Bethlen's speech, however, he can't help but chime in.
"Must everything be so dark and grim always, Bethlen? There is great beauty in the lightning storms and even in the shadows of the night. None can say what truly lies over the horizon, indeed I'd call any famous diviner either a great lier or a very lucky fellow."

He picks up one of the raw pieces of meat and chews it, still talking.
"Its in our nature to be violent. Not just humans, but all beings. So I dare say we haven't chosen a bad path at all.
Oh, and if I do get ambushed and murdered, I'd rather do it on a full stomach, thank you very much."
At no point having stopped either smiling or chewing, Thorwald takes another piece of meat and leans on a rock next to the fire.
