Kuren and Joseph felt rather awkward at this time, unsure of what to do next.
Faced with Kadi's hysterics, they felt a bit guilty, but it was quite justifiable from their cautious point of view. This was a difficult issue to settle. On one hand, Kuren and his team were dutifully guarding the mountain, not letting any sign of disturbance slip past them. On the other hand, they mistrusted Kadi. But honestly, how could a wet-behind-the-ears kid like Kadi possibly consider all aspects of the situation? The choices made by Kuren and Joseph, no matter who looked at it, seemed completely natural.
The only thing Kuren and his companions felt guilty about was Dastan. They shouldn't have used Dastan to probe for information, even though they had no idea what had happened to him. It was inappropriate to gather information about an unidentified individual based on assumptions about a comrade.
