	There is something wrong with all of you. There are so many choices you and you pick the ones that lead to death. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	None of us are dying. I won't allow it. What choice would you have us pick, Lotus? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not allowing it doesn't mean it won't happen. It's too late to discuss that now, isn't it? I'm just making an observation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thinking like that isn't allowed either. It's not too late to get your own say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Look, I understand. I have my own family I want to go back to. I appreciate the good things Delphinus and Pavo have done for me here but the fact of the matter is... you're not my family. We just happen to be stuck in the same situation together. Besides, I've already done my damage. [looking to where Tide and Shiki have disappeared to]

Going to another team might not make a difference in the long run but I'll take my illusion of safety with me.

That's wrong Lotus. Even if we're not a family in the conventional sense, we're teammates, we're partners to each other and we stand by each other. Delphinus is hurt right now... But aren't you hurt too? You never asked for this, but you've walked into the start of a war and so much is being asked of you. I know that. I know you just want to be safe. But an illusion isn't good enough reason for me to let you go without a fight.

	You can't stop me from leaving. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	letdownmyhair 2011-12-27 04:14 pm UTC (link)
	I wouldn't, not if you really wanted to leave. But for a reason like that... You're still Delphinus. And I think it's a terrible idea Lotus, I really do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	. . . It's too late to do anything now. I'm going to bed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It isn't too late, Lotus. Goodnight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
