Ehh, I don't think so. Chaos is a constant state. Order isn't. Therefore Chaos is stronger than Order.

Tiger was, at that moment, following N0 along the river. The odd creature was quite friendly, although strange. Tiger wasn't used to someone so unself-conscious, who didn't care what others thought about him. N0 was, however, not very talkative, which suited Tiger just fine.
When they stopped to take a break (Tiger's injury, while almost healed, did twinge at times) N0 turned to the striped rabbit.
"If you don't mind my asking, what the heck are you doing out here?"
"I told you there was an ambush."
"Uh huh."
"And I told you the survivors left."
"Right. But you're a survivor, and you're still here," N0 pointed out.
"I know. They left me for dead in the middle of the river. Guess they didn't want to get their feet wet."
"But they took the rest of the dead."
"Yeah. Infuriating, huh? But it's a good thing they did. I'm free now ... "
"Really," N0 said distantly. Tiger cursed mentally. He hadn't meant to say that.
"Yeah. Too bad for them."
"Indeed," N0 agreed, not prying any further. Then, "hey, got a way off this rock?"
"Maybe. If my homer still works."
"Homer?"
"For my ship," Tiger elaborated. "The Timelost."
"Sounds good. Got room for me?"
"Barely. I'll take you wherever you want to go, though."
"Awesome. Man, you're too good for those Kiyrenin."
"What?" Tiger said, startled. N0 grinned enigmatically.
"You didn't think I didn't know. Some mage guy told me before he disappeared."
"Interesting," Tiger mused, thinking Radium.
"Yeah. So I headed this way."
"Lucky me," the ex-Kiyrenin said dryly. N0 chortled gleefully.
"Yep. Lucky you. Hey, are we going to sit around all day, or are we going to get a move on? Cause I'd hate to be caught outside after dark."
"Uh, sure. Come on, we've got to find a glade."
"For your ship."
"Uh huh. It can't land in water."
"I knew that ... "

Tha's for Nobody cuz I promised.
