Nadeline's patience wore thin. Dangerously thin. She couldn't stand seeing Savayna like this for various reasons, though anger was starting to overcome the more virtuous emotions she had. She marched up to Savayna, grabbing her by the shoulders to make her turn to her. Once she did, she slapping her straight across the face. As Nadeline was, well, Nadeline, it certainly wouldn't hurt, but it would surely get her attention. She then pulled Savayna to her, grabbing her face with both hands and basically forcing the other blonde woman to look at her.

"[b]Look at me--at ME.[/B]" She ordered her. "[b]Gods, how much longer will you continue this idiotic pity party of yours?! What happened to you working for everything you have?! What happened to abandoning all of that just to help us?! You said you had no regrets about it. You told me you hated how I had everything handed to me--but I'm not the one falling for the enemy's mind tricks! I am the truth in this madness you have succumbed to, and if you don't snap out of this, Grant and Jaakuna and Wesley and Emi will stay just like you are![/b]" She was practically yelling, if only to drown out the other Savayna's noises. "[b]This is not the future you wanted, you told me Grant told you that he didn't care. He wasn't lying, and he needs you right now! We all need you![/b]"

Shion listened to Francis, though she would take out a small seed from her pocket, showing it to him. "[b]I like power. But power tends to draw attention, something that obviously goes against my way of thinking. So instead, I look for potential. I find them, recruit them, and then grow them. Just like a plant.[/b]" She explained, the seed blossoming into a small, white flower. "[b]I have eyes and ears all cross Ivalice.[/b]" She chuckled lightly, the flower wilting to dust in her hand. "[b]As for your second question, I reiterate myself. I like power. I have yet to find a man who can impress me. Even your leader, Hamut doesn't quite fit the cut. That and...I am sure he is inferior to me.[/b]"
