[A small smile finds her face at that. She has met many people since arriving in this world, and most of them think the technology in the Free Cities is actually lacking. Diana remembers the first time she saw a steam-powered boat, and a car in London--Cadens is at least home to more familiar things, even if they are still very different from what is on Themyscira.

She looks down into the water, considering as well before answering. She has no reason not to be honest.]

Nocwich is a cautious place full of cautious people, but they have still welcomed the Summoned without asking anything of us. But the other factions... [She takes a slow breath.] I feel their leadership see us as tools. In the Free cities, they are keen to recruit us to their military. I have heard similar things about Thorne. Solvunn... I do not know much about it, unfortunately, so I cannot say. None of them have forced our hands, but I do not think doing so is ever far from their minds.

[It leaves a sour taste in her mouth to say it all aloud, but it is what Diana sees as the truth.]

It is all politics, each faction vying for more power over the others. [She clearly doesn't like it.]
