[color=1a7b30]Time:[/color] Morning
[color=1a7b30]Location:[/color] Baelde's restaurant
[color=1a7b30]Interaction:[/color][@Alivefalling]-Kyran [@MissCapnCrunch] Dionaea [@princess] Risa [@Dezuel] Elthrael[/center]

[hr]

Risa seemed to have the same sentiment as Elsea and she was glad someone else in the group also understood that forcing anyone to do anything was wrong. She'd really grown to like Risa over the last week, loving her sweet nature and always looking for the good in people. It was a good quality to have, however Elsea feared that with what was to come Risa would change the most. They were going to have to make some very tough decisions here in the future.

When Dio began speaking she turned her attention to the other female fairy. Unfortunately Elsea hadn't got to know Dionaea as well due to the discovery of her brothers and missing family. The image of the dead fairies flashed in her mind and it made her a little sick. So far she'd been the one to experience the most consequences from their actions. Elsea may not have been able to talk to her too much, but just seeing her pain made her want to help in any way she could. At the end of her speech she also ordered Elsea food which came as a shock, but also caused Elsea to giggle just a bit. [Color=1a7b30]"Yes I'll take the potato cakes, thank you Dio."[/color] She gave the girl a smile, deciding she'd eat them just for her.

[Color=1a7b30]"I do agree that finding Dio's family should be a top priority, but we need to do so with caution. I promise you that the enemy wants us to try that and we don't want to fall into their trap."[/color] She said as she looked around to the others. They needed to really think through their plans otherwise it would blow up in their faces.

Elthrael began speaking and his words ignited anger in her, but just before she snapped at him she paused. That's what he wanted, he was trying to anger her and Kyran it seemed, but why? What was his goal there? She had a feeling she might know why, but wasn't sure enough to call him out on it. Instead she decided she wouldn't react entirely in the way he wanted. So instead she grinned at him in a rather mischievous way, but let him speak. She'd wait till he finished before she'd speak again. He spoke of heroes and how in trying time the grandest of acts are taken. She scoffed a bit. [Color=1a7b30]"Heroic acts often lead to a change in the person as well and still for the worse. Some become arrogant and think they deserve praise for their acts which is a poor quality. Others are haunted by their acts for the rest of their lives. Yes hard steps must be taken, but taking those steps will change you."[/color] She'd never liked the fantasy of heroes and always believed heroism to be a facade. History always painted heroes to be more grand than they really were. Yes hard choices must be made, but to her that wasn't being a hero it was merely doing the next right thing.

[Color=1a7b30]"Also it's adorable that you think I'd still want you to train me. How arrogant of you to assume such a thing. Besides,"[/color] She paused as she snapped her fingers, a small flame igniting right in Elthrael's lap. She let it burn there for a few moments, keeping it from spreading yet letting it burn a small section of his clothes. She waved her hand and made the small flame dissipate before it could really harm him however. [Color=1a7b30]"I'm learning just fine without your help."[/color] She said with that same mischievous grin before looking away from him and to Kyran once more. She'd considered igniting him in a pillar of flame, but that would be too revealing. Keeping the tiny flame hidden by the table in his lap was much less revealing while still showing him that her power was growing. She'd made sure one of the first things she began practicing was control over what she burned. She wanted to be sure that if she started a fire she could stop it just as quickly. She didn't want to have a second incident like what happened in the forest.

It was time to address Kyran again and this time she felt a bit calmer. Her initial outburst of anger had dissipated with Dio and Risa's earlier words. [Color=1a7b30]"Aye, I understand that their best chance of survival is learning to use their magic. Forcing them to learn, however, is out of the question. You need to look at the situation from their point of view. In our world we don't have magic, we don't have people appearing in the sky like Aklenroth did, and most who see a talking skeleton will most likely view them as the Devil or some other omen of death. The Devil is known to be a trickster and lie, so can you blame them for not believing that he really would send them home? They don't know who to trust and a talking skeleton is the least likely being to trust to us. So many humans are going to be frightened and untrusting and if you tell them they must fight in a war than you will be an enemy as well and they will turn against you."[/color] She explained to him, hoping her words would help him understand why she'd gotten upset. [Color=1a7b30]"While I agree that we need to find as many humans and away them to help, if some decide the do not wish to help than we must respect that."[/color] She said and quickly stopped talking as Alie appeared with their food.

She slowly began eating and had to admit it really was delicious. She was glad that Dio had actually made her order something. She let a few moments of silence pass before she looked to Risa and Dio. [Color=1a7b30]"So there is to be a ball, aye? What say you we go shopping for dresses after this?"[/color] She asked them with a grin, trying to change the subject. While she had a feeling Kyran's mother may have dresses they could wear, she thought it might be fun for them to have a moment of normalcy and fun by dress shopping. She'd seen many shops with pretty dresses in them when they arrived and knew it could be fun to look closer at then with the two fairies.
