Then out of respect for your own interests, I'll cut to the heart of this negotiation. My objective is to convince you that peace is of greater net value to you than violence. Unless you cannot incorporate new information into decisions, which a man of your caliber surely can, then that should be an agreeable end state.

@Legend

I appreciate the appeal to ego, but not the use of it to goad me to a change if mind. Let’s hear the information.

Might I convince you that another route may be more reasonable?

@Legend

Not impossible, but I’m a stubborn guy, Mister Stream.

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

"This time"?

@Legend

This time. I have a few reasons. One, the Ilouro were supposed to be extinct, so either someone brought them back like me or they’ve been keeping secrets. I want to see if any of those secrets are useful ones. Two, and related, not many people get to say they went toe to toe with a mythical creature. And third, her head would make a cute little mount on my wall. Just to the right of the television, I think, next to the lizard fella. I hope no one touched any of that after all these years.

In exchange for the girl, too?

@Legend

*Ponders*
Mm. Not this time.

<Snipped quote by Revolutionary>

I'd like to use reason until the option is no longer with us.

@Legend

You two're more than welcome to leave. Send more with the elements flowing through them in your stead if you will.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

And you're not going to let me decline the offer?

@Audacious

*Looks less amused*
Maybe if you lot were the ones to bring me back. But as you've admitted, you're not. In fact I'd wager that you were here in opposition to those who did if that's the case.

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Surely there’s a better way to test your strength.

@Legend

I'm not testing strength mainly, just loosening up a bit. Spreading the wings. Heck, if she survives long enough, there won't be a need to kill her at all. I do have much to do after all.

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

The proposition includes a presumption of victory on your part. I’m not personally interested in placing myself at your mercy, for that matter.

@Legend

It sure does. And no worries. You need not partake.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

In most cases, survival. But more importantly, why do you have any desire to fight to the death?

@Legend

Do I really? Who knows, but it’s prime motivation for people to believe that’s what’s at stake-
*Smiles mischievously*
And there’s only one way to find out if I mean it.

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

*Chuckles*
I might argue that I would do so regardless.

@Legend

Reason being?

“Not in the cards”, compadre.

@Revolutionary

Don’t be so serious about it. You have a few minutes while we finish talking, I didn’t get a lot of this in the past however many years.
