John gives a vague non-committal half-nod at that, as if he's partially agreeing but also not.

"Everyone's got their own agenda here," he agrees. "Magda, definitely, the Natha definitely too. Everyone is dangerously vague and unwilling to give up information. Which, on the one hand, I'm used to from our own version of the Natha back home. On the other hand, I've not really seen the Natha actually do much. Jury is kinda out for me on them, they haven't done anything specifically bad but a lack of clear motivation on their part isn't great. Magda is clearly motivated, by his dislike of the Natha. It's worth knowing why."

Either it will make Magda sympathetic, or it'll make the Natha sympathetic. Or it'll stay unclear, but John hopes not. It's easier if you have a clear reason to point a gun one way or the other.
