regarding a coil of bahamut spoiler [turn 5]

[notspoony]

Now that is quite the development, would you not say? There is a sense of irony in it somewhere as well.

While I quite understand that your jaw is veritably on the floor, I ask not that you should place the blame at my feet! I and my associates knew just a little more in regard to that monstrosity than you - though really! You might have saw it coming with Ultima!

...Alas, you focused all theorycraft upon the Crystal and it's transformation. Aye - You were indeed right; though perhaps your perception was a tad shortsighted. And your theories regarding "whether or not the Allagan empire were douchebags or amazing, or amazing douchebags" (Your words, not mine) were mayhap obsessive. Still!

Very well done.
Until next we meet, my dear.

Thancred?

[ The younger scion just peered at him with a look of wonder and mild confusion upon his face. It's clear that something's amidst here and he plans to find out what. ]

[notspoony]

[nnnnnnnnope.]

You, as well as the others, shall find out in time.

[sunfae]

[ He huffs in annoyance. ]

No, tell me! You have one too many secrets, you know? It's not fair.

[notspoony]

[...
He doesn't even. Congrats! Elarian's been upgraded from "irritable chocobo" in his reckoning to "moping manchild." Still. Niceness! ]

I'm afraid no man- or woman- should insist upon me divulging any secret of mine or any elses.
However! There is little reason to be so out of humour. As I have already mentioned; you shall know - if you seek the truth hard enough.

[sunfae]

[ The bard's reply won a huff from him. Honestly, Thancred, stop fancying yourself as the "mysterious loner" type and speak! ]

Oh blimey! I knew that would be your reply.

[ He shrugs his shoulders. ]

Someday I'll figure you out, but I fear my investigation shall lead to a startling conclusion.

[ And that's to put it "nicely" if anything else. ]

[notspoony]

[Not quite. But if that's the way he wants to think, it's much more convenient than the truth.]

It should not be a worthwhile investigation if it should lead to aught else!

[sunfae]

True enough.

[ Though, he's starting to think that some secrets should stay "hidden" as from what he's experienced as of late.]

...Hm.

[ Elarian gave the bard a pensive glance. ]

[lustrate]

Utter 'douchebags', for designing an elevator even worse than the one at the Praetorium.

[ at least Gaius had the decency to give a small break in between waves ]

[notspoony]

[Ohi, pretty face.]

Mayhap for all their emulation of the Allagan way of doing things, the Garlean Empire had finally surpassed them in the matter of loading bay elevation mechanism.

[There's a small laugh.]

Though from what I have heard from my dear mundane in regard to "waves and waves of darklight", their security indeed needs stepping up a fair few notches.

[lustrate]

Poor security: another thing they share in common with the Garleans.

[ any mention of flowers blooming in the desert, and you're gonna get the worlds longest eyeroll, Thancred. She huffs, having more than enough experience with all those damn clockwerk soldiers and spinners and dreadnaughts... wave after wave. You could have given us some warning, Alisaie. ]

But even if you make it past those infuriating devices, you still have their pet dragon to deal with. [ that, and her whelps. many whelps. ]

Really, Thancred! If you knew even the slightest bit more about the coil than we did, you could have shared!

[notspoony]

[pls. Shouldn't it be the forest if only because of the Gridania Thing? And more importantly he's noticing that she's kiiiiind of pissed. So! There's merely a sympathetic look. If he could only help.]

Alas, If I only had opportunity to explain! I had not expected Alisaie [To go for the jugular.] to take that path. Yet I am sure she is is quite capable hands with you, dear lady. It hardly needs saying; but her physical welfare is of import.

[Since, y'know. Her mental wellbeing is certainly going to be shot.]

[swordtouch]

Irony can be found in many places, I've learned. Mainly with people and metal on an anvil.

I jest, of course...

Though I must say... If this is what I am to look forward to, then do color me weary.

[notspoony]

[Have a bright laugh.]

Of course. Why- joking becomes you far more than suspicion! I trust we are over that, now?

[...The coil. Yes, of course. His gaze darkens slightly, and he tilts his head to one side.]

I am quite sure, in time, you shall be able to weather the challenge. But aye- it is a veritable deathtrap, to say the very least. One I'm quite sure you will overcome! What is it the flame general is quite fond of saying?

...Ah, yes. Victory belongs to the bold. Words to live by, indeed.

[swordtouch]

[Garrett nods to that.]

Yes... Apologies for misconstruing things.

[Then Garrett watches him as he explained things.]

Right... I only hope that you are right in that I will overcome this when it is time.

[notspoony]

Very good! Yet there is no reason to apologize. I understand the manner of which we as an organization approached you was mayhap heavyhanded. As you are no doubt aware; individuals with your gifts are rare. Individuals with mastery over your gifts are rarer. We could not afford to stand idly by and- [Allow any harm to come to Garrett because of what he can do!] -miss the opportunity to attempt to have you for our very own!

[And! He's just going to smile again, and shrug somewhat dismissively.]

Pray, do not concern yourself over what is to come. The present is just as vital. Worrying over the man you are to be tomorrow preoccupies your thoughts today, and today is indeed dangerous!
