⚔ // stress in solitude

[discutio]

[Once Saturn had left, Ignis took a slow breath to steady himself before standing and speaking again.]

I think we have a fair amount of things to discuss, after that. But we'll also need to rest and recover here; We may be able to take it at Saturn's word that he won't alert Cyrus to us, but overstaying our welcome by more than a couple of days is unwise--that means we need to take advantage of this as much as we can.

[Strategy was easier. The words came naturally, and he was able to hold focus.]

If anyone needs me or wishes to assist, I'll be in the kitchen. I'm aware we just ate, but I presume we'll all be more comfortable if one of our own makes breakfast in the morning.

No, I understand. There's honestly no way to avoid it, so we may as well get used to the idea. I'll admit, I'm not totally sympathetic, so if that's necessary in the long run...

[discutio]

I won't deny Saturn deserves what's coming to him, and I'll not try to change your mind. But ane needn't be sympathetic to avoid being unnecessarily cruel. For the sake of what sounds like the wishes of the group at large, remembering that is all I can ask of you.

[enjoymyatelier]

Oh, of course. We're definitely arresting him, but not killing him.

I'm sure it'll still be satisfying to see him cuffed, of course.

[discutio]

I'm just glad we're clear on that. I wouldn't hold it against someone if they did want him dead, but...

[Sighing, Ignis shook his head]

I just don't think it the best option. Better to be stopped when he still has some faint shred of a chance to turn back somehow.

[enjoymyatelier]

Well, the majority opinion seems to be imprisonment, which is fine by me. I don't expect anyone to let him get off scott free, at the very least.

[still, if he didn't have to deal with anybody else?

probably torturemurder tbh. but he's not gonna say that.]
