[color=fff79a]"Then I guess it's decided,"[/color] Wesley announced, closing his eyes, and crossing his legs. As he would open them, he gave everyone a smile. 

Each and every one of them had come so far. He still remembered the time that Grant had captured them for the reason of solely getting Emiri back. Though it felt like a lifetime ago, it was a simple few months of time that had passed. During that specific point in time, Wesley's father had just been murdered by Judge Ixion. Wesley could recall being more than simply furious at him. He wanted his head on a pike. He wanted to maim and make him feel how it was like to get your entire life taken away from you, but that was the anger he felt about losing his father so suddenly and how he wanted someone to hurt like he had. In the end, it didn't matter because he gained a perspective that not everyone's fortunate to receive. He did end up not only forgiving Ixion for his clouded outlook and pardoned him from the crime. Under the order of an even more troubled Vincent, who had been operating under the influence of both his misguided hatred for Jaakuna but also the distorted views bestowed upon him from Hamut. 

As he thought about all of that and how everyone had suffered their fair share of pain that would otherwise make an average person take their own life, they've all proven to be strong individuals who have the strongest will to live that he had ever seen. All of them--even Aloa and Shion--went through their own respective ordeals. Wesley might not have known the specifics of some, but there was no denying that they carried painful memories. Just like Jaakuna, just like Nadeline, Grant, Savayna, and Wesley himself, those two were better for it. It's made them who they are today. As someone who was observant and noticed these things and having gone through similar strife, Wesley could tell that as being one with who knew pain.

[color=ed1c24]"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to take a commercial airship,"[/color] Jaakuna admitted to the group. [color=ed1c24]"There is no way I'm rested enough to drive."[/color]

[color=lightblue]"Yeah, you're reckless as it is,"[/color] Savayna added, responding directly to Jaakuna.

[color=ed1c24]"Look who's talking!"[/color] Jaakuna scoffed.

[color=lightblue]"Don't you go turning this on me. As I recall, back when you and Emiri here first met, weren't you the one who decided it was a brilliant move to use your Mist Knack to cause the entrance to the Garamsythe Waterway in Lowtown to cave in."[/color]

Jaakuna scoffed again. [color=ed1c24]"You and I both know that the circumstances surrounding that are--"[/color]

[color=fff79a]"Wait,"[/color] Wesley interrupted Jaakuna as he was about to speak. [color=fff79a]"[i]You're[/i] the one responsible for that?"[/color] He asked, narrowing his eyes suspiciously at Jaakuna. 

Just as Jaakuna was about to speak, his mouth betrayed him. Instead, he looked around the table for any kind of assistance.

[color=ed1c24][i]I'm screwed, aren't I?[/i][/color]

[color=crimson][i]Better start praying to a god.[/i][/color]

Jaakuna ignored Belias, though he would look at Wesley. He could never tell if the prince was ever mad at him or not because he had flawless poker face.
