Regina listened to the plan that the Princess put forward, having noted that the obvious medic of the group, Althea she thought, followed her into the building and Esther from earlier was in another. However, something in the back of her mind nudged at her about the princess's plan. The plan's outcome would be interesting, but the more Regina went through it in her mind the worse it got. Whether the end result was to rodeo a Roc or have it hit the piece of rope, there was simply too much risk especially with collapsing village buildings and a rope that may not even be strong enough despite what the princess said. Furthermore, she was underestimating nature, at least to Regina. Adolescent Rocs were fast learners, but may simply just learn to not do something that a late member just did and attempt a different approach instead of retreating. They also had their own feelings and bonds, just like any living being would. No, Regina had a extremely bad feeling about this plan. Too flashy, typical of royalty and "higher" nobility than her own family.

That was it! She was going to take action. If no one else was going to stand up to this, she was if only to not get killed. [color=00A651]"Princess, your plan is terrible!" [/color] Regina shouted back to her. No doubt she was going to get some evil eyes and dissent. She was, after all, the new girl to this entire cadet squad and she was just now telling the grand princess that everyone practically worships that her plan was stupid. Remembering what she knew about Rocs, mostly on how to avoid them, she began to conter the Princess's plan with her own. [color=00A651]"We don't have to kill any of them! All we have to do is escape or make them believe we escaped!"[/color] Regina was quickly looking around from outside the building she was in as she was looking for something that could help them with this improvised on-the-spot but simpler plan. It took a bit of quick surveying, but Regina saw a ruined aqueduct that could be used. [color=00A651]"There is an aqueduct and a few buildings that can be used over there for such a purpose, as can the well!  Lots of trees and cover to move without detection from the sky! Some improvised cover and a huge distraction to draw the birds' attention or blinding them for a few seconds would also do wonders."[/color] With the sun out, the Rocs will have an easier time spotting them, so they had to take that into account. Still, they'd be exposed to fewer opportunities to become bird food than following the princess's plan. A smoke bomb or something similar could work to blind the birds and give them enough time to hide. 

Now, was the time where she did mention a portion of the princess's plan that at least sounded somewhat right with someone acting as bird bait. [color=00A651]"Bait will be good as a backup plan to lead them away!"[/color] It was a plan that she made on the spot, albeit ducking into cover from the giant birds. She'd make a much more concrete plan, but as it is there would be confusion between to either follow her own plan or the princess's plan and Regina did not know what everyone was capable of. If this didn't work out, well, there was always run into the church and another intact building, make a last stand, and punish any Rocs that fly near them. Either way, Regina listened to the reactions that everyone else had and kept to the cover of the building.
