[What an absolute ordeal all of that was.

Today was certainly one hell of a day, that's for sure; they've managed to take care of another Guardian and gain it's trust (or at the very least, something resembling it), they managed to find Candice and manage to...well, maybe not get her back in a state that's altogether wanted, but ensure they managed to get her at least into a place where she could possibly regain herself. It will likely be a process, as such things are, but they've done their best, and they should have no regrets.

The center is definitely going to be a welcome reprieve for all of their suffering, at the very least. The Kompot is certainly more than enough to likely get everyone warmed back up and in a stable condition, along with the copious amount of blankets the locals have provided. They've got the time to rest and get ready for their next adventure.

Rest well, ye merry band of travelers. You've earned it.]

...I suppose that is true, but if we have to see anything like that ever again, it'll be far too soon--I've seen enough of that at home.

[Camilla kind of just. Sighs, almost aggravated.]

I'm not unused to the idea that negotiations would be difficult. Really, I expect them to be, if we have little ability to fight here.

[redbellion]

Well...yeah.

[ negotiations? haha what are those. keith has never been great at them--that was shiro and allura's thing, really. but noctis said keith did well back there with uxie. maybe he's getting better at it. ]

I just...I don't know if negotiations are going to work on Cyrus. I have a good feeling they won't.

[anythingforyou]

Oh, it most likely isn't.

[Like. Despite her words about diplomacy and shit, Cyrus is one thing she'll acknowledge as a borderline impossibility.]

That's why I suppose we need to play a part, for now. So that we are able to become strong enough to overcome him; it's really the only way I see this working out, short of doing something Cynthia won't like in the slightest.

[redbellion]

By challenging him to a Pokemon battle, right?

[anythingforyou]

[...]

Well, that would likely be the proper way to settle such a thing, yes.

[It's. It's likely clear this isn't the method she'd personally go with.]

[redbellion]

[ oh. ]

If you have any other ideas, I'm all ears.

[anythingforyou]

...I mean, quite frankly, killing him would be the better option. It's sadly the one that Cynthia refuses to approve of, though.

[...it's a little bluntly stated but there you go, friend.]

[redbellion]

[ he'd rather not have to take cyrus' life, if he really had a choice. but he gets where she's coming from. ]

He needs to be subdued. A Pokemon battle won't be enough to stop him.
