They both voiced their ideas for what they should do, Chieko doing so a bit more forcefully than Yuuki. Ashton also arived, attempting to assert himself and lead the discussion, but this just seemed to infuriate Chieko further. And what she said, further infuriated Aerith. Hiro groaned. [color=slategray]"getting passports isn't going to stop who's coming after us. They are clearly not on the side of the law. If we want answers, we're going to need to confront them."[/color] Alistair was not as quick to “defend” his past choices. He listened to what everyone said before saying his own bit. [color=c1ba46]"Listen well, all of you. I, Alistair Archibald, am usually a benevolent and tolerant man, but there are three things I simply cannot stand: People who order me around, people who insult me, and... repeating my mistakes."[/color] He folded his arms. [color=c1ba46]"I do not think we were wrong to try gaining the upper hand on our attackers. It's taught us a great deal about how they operate, and how we operate."[/color] Alistair pulled out his hand and opened it up. A gentle geyser flowed out of his palm and ran over the edges of his hand. [color=c1ba46]"But there is little else to learn or gain from a forth encounter. And I also believe that someone who is capable of thought should see Donovan. To ensure such criteria is met, I will go with Donovan this time."[/color] Alistair made no attempt to look at Chieko or the others, nor would he respond to them. He did not want to be ordered around, but he did not want to be burdened with the rest of them as they made their choice. [color=slategray]"Alright!"[/color] Hiro walked up to Yuuki. [color=slategray]"We'll try going with Aer, but if things don't work out, I think you should consider helping us defeat the assassins. You'll get a free magic lesson out of the deal too."[/color] [color=ffdead]”Are you done gossiping?”[/color] Aer and Wisp were making their move. [color=ffdead]”I'm glad some of you had a change of heart, but I really must be going.”[/color]
