IC Random Journey in The Universe (IC)

[Streyll]

(And are they in the front or back?)

 

[Tibithia Σ]

(The back.)

 

[Streyll]

Well, assuming everyone is in the back, Lukas would look at Izviing, then at Rune.
"*What happened?*

 

[Ivyss]

"*He was brought here in even worse condition.*"

 

[Tibithia Σ]

Forrest would be staring at Izviing.
"*...What the ?*"

 

[Streyll]

"*Who brought him in?*"

 

[Tibithia Σ]

Because why not, Esidur is nearby enough to overhear.
"*I did. He was tortured by Swaasnia.*"

 

[Streyll]

"*Oh. Well, that's... not good.*"

 

[Tibithia Σ]

"*...I don't think we can afford to have Frostfang lose any power, as long as we convince him to focus on Swaasnia.*"

 

[Streyll]

"*He shouldn't gain any power either though.*"

 

[Tibithia Σ]

"*Just use it against a worse enemy.*"

 

[Streyll]

"*Yes, but you see, the saying 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' only goes so far as to exist when you both have a common enemy. You don't want to support someone, and then have the support turned back on you later.*"

 

[Tibithia Σ]

"*How paranoid do you think he is?*"

 

[Streyll]

"*I think he's also speciesist.*"

 

[Tibithia Σ]

"*Obviously, why do you think I'm like this currently?*"

 

[Streyll]

"*Which means he may try to pull some kind of cleansing later.*"

 

[Tibithia Σ]

"*Counterpoint: What other methods do we have at fully eliminating Swaasnia that won't result in us all dying horrific deaths?*"

 

[Streyll]

"*...Rune, do you still have some contacts with the empire?*"

 

[Tibithia Σ]

"*...that wasn't propaganda they were force-feeding me?*"

 

[Streyll]

Lukas looks at Esidur, and stares at him for a few seconds.
