Risa was reluctant as Jean spoke. She did not want to doubt his intelligence but he was new to the land. She had no idea what he knew from his old land and how it compared here. It could be foolish to just blindly trust him, especially if his plan could put him in danger. Keeping him safe was a priority. She was about to open her mouth and object, requesting more information, but then Kyran spoke. He explained that there were cave systems in aquifers and rushed off to get Dionaea. Risa tilted her head, recalling her knowledge. She supposed they both meant to unflood the underground system. That's why wells had to be dug deep enough to reach them. Then they could hide there, and Jean could do something to block the enemies from entering. The gamble became on if Jean could pull it off and if he and Elthrael could remain safe outside it while distracting or whatever he planned them to do. Risa was wary. She wished there was a less risky plan. 

Kyran soon came out, beckoning both her and Elsea. She trusted Kyran and would eventually follow, but not until everyone here was on board. No plan would work unless they stuck together. There was no way she wanted to lose Elsea again. Elsea had some valid objections. If Elthrael was her savior, she'd trust him most and leaving him vulnerable to strangers would seem foolish no doubt. Elthrael expressed many doubts as well. They both did not seem to want to go along with the risk. However, Elthrael wanted to fly away again! She found this distasteful. He even invited her as if she didn't care about her friends.

She came over to stand in front of Elthrael, unpleased with his words. Her hands were back on her hips. [color=AC5FFB]"Deem you a coward?"[/color] Risa repeated with rising emotion, [color=AC5FFB]"If you were to take this girl and leave everyone else here, I just might! If we want to defeat Aklenroth, you should know we need all the humans together, live and well. Their powers together will be the unstoppable force! They are safer with each other and can learn from one another."[/color] Risa hoped at least Elsea would understand the value of not leaving people behind and convince him if she couldn't, [color=AC5FFB]"Friends do not leave each other behind! We all just found each other again. If you are unsure of Jean's plan, that's understandable. I am reluctant too, but running away and leaving comrades is not an option, especially since it will still pose a risk to you and Elsea.  We are stronger together!"[/color] Risa felt very passionate about this. She had been raised on being honorable and never leaving anyone behind. That was her job as a healer. Her job as someone having leading in their blood was now to lead. 

[color=AC5FFB] "Jean needs you for this part of the plan. He does not like you so maybe you are to inspire his power usage. Emotion drives the abilities of all. I am sure once he does what he does, you will join us in hiding. I will even stay above ground to come help you if need be. I am a very accomplished healer and I will not let anyone die. I plead of you to please help us."[/color]Risa explained to Elthrael, stooping to a plea. Sometimes it was the only thing that made people understand. 

Risa now turned to Elsea.[color=AC5FFB]"I understand your doubts but what is coming could be a worse risk. Staying in plain sight will be dangerous. Staying together as a group is important in this world. We must have some faith in each other. Kyran is no fool and I don't think Jean-Luc is one either. Plans only work if everyone sticks to them. If you continue to protest or flee, I feel in my heart someone may get hurt. Time is of essence." [/color]
