([i]Oh boy, a lot of this stuff coming from Robin is from that RP I had. ^^'[/i]) [center][img]http://38.media.tumblr.com/32a0913220cb5e69eb623152da7518d9/tumblr_inline_nifrgjwUx41sfvecc.png[/img] [color=DarkSlateBlue]"So you're advancing a theory that hasn't been said yet? I'd like to challenge that!"[/color] Robin doubted that this theory of Battler's would be able to pull this game into a draw, holding out his tome as he charged energy for a spell. Even Dlanor had the same doubts as Robin considering that Battler hasn't said his theory yet. [color=Thistle]"Then let me ASK! If it's not Natsuhi, who is the CULPRIT?"[/color] This needed to be clarified if they were going to have a good footing against this theory that was soon to come around.

Even then, there would have been rumors yet it seems the only individuals to know her 'crime' are herself and the man.[/b][/color][color=DarkSlateBlue]"[/color] Seeing that Dlanor would say something, Robin held out a hand to show that he wasn't done just yet,[color=DarkSlateBlue]"Before you quote Knox's Decalogue, hear this![/color] [color=Red][b]Battler Ushiromiya knows that he is not the man from 19 years ago! The 9th law protects me in this instance because Battler has been withholding knowledge of the case![/b][/color][color=DarkSlateBlue] Even if he was, why would he help Natsuhi kill members of the family? Why wouldn't he kill simply Natsuhi, her husband, and her progeny before moving on to the rest of the family if he so desired?"[/color] [img]http://33.media.tumblr.com/c538fe9cc89a18bdb945e8e1cc49fd00/tumblr_inline_nifrglN9qw1sfvecc.png[/img] He turned to Battler, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes, [color=DarkSlateBlue]"Go on, Sorcerer, disprove my words. I want to see your desire to survive in your eyes.​"[/color] Instead of casting out a spell from the fact that he held out a tome to use, this much of the Truths being used here caused his spell to become a beam of the [color=Red][b]Red[/b][/color] and [color=RoyalBlue][b]Blue[/b][/color] Truths aimed for Battler and Sora.

The other resort would be to use the Truth that he now knows about Beatrice's games... judging that using himself as the culprit wouldn't exactly work anymore.
