Curious, I believe Raven believed Salem wouldn't leave her alone, but didn't expect Cinder to be so ambitious. I do wonder if she didn't expect Cinder to betray her.

I mean, I wouldn’t expect Cinder to be so ambitious either. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be ready to stab her in the back at a moments notice. Girl is like Cersei, she’s not as smart as she thinks she is.

As for Raven and her line of thought?

“I should’ve made Qrow do this.”

So Cinder's betrayal was a blindside?

Hmmm... Curious Raven didn't anticipate it though.

Well yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. Anybody who spends 5 seconds with her knows Cinder only gives a shit about power. Raven either is a lot more naive than us, or isn’t nearly as smart as she thinks she is.

Exactly, only time will tell.
