The team choices were interesting, certainly, Sparks thought.  Splitting up the twins was certainly a choice, as was putting Griff with Rhylaen.  He was rather glad he'd not have to deal with that particular problem on his team, for the moment.  Sleeping Thunder and Aurora were going to be problems, as was the combination of Logic Diver under Elora and the Electric Dragonfly under Rhylaen.  He was mentally running through what he knew of the various frames when Serah approached him with a greeting.

[color=lightskyblue]"We'll do our best,"[/color] he replied with a smile.  [color=lightskyblue]"We should probably move to another room for discussion...."[/color]  Sparks trailed off as the Steel Raven, Stella, went to hug Elora and protest the team arrangements.  That was going to be another problem.  Clearly she still had some of her kindergarten programming in effect.

Well, there was more than one way to skin a cat.  Sparks approached Stella, making sure to do so where she could see him.  [color=lightskyblue]"Hey.  Don't you think that this is a good learning opportunity for Elora?"[/color] he asked.  [color=lightskyblue]"If she doesn't have practice fighting, she won't do well when we face the Cruxi for real.  You can help teach her how to protect herself here and now, where she won't truly get hurt."[/color]
