[ K'thisru turns to look at the Exarch as well, a small sort of smile crossing her face in spite of herself. She worries about him as well, wondering if what he does will take a final toll on him, one he cannot recover from.

But he has resolved to do what must be done, and it seems as though trying to convince him otherwise is a futile effort, so rather than comment on that, she says instead: ]


It looks like Thancred would like to go, at least. [ She spares a smile for him, because she can also tell that he would rather be doing something else than discussing plans. Still, plans are necessary if action is going to happen, but she sympathizes with him regardless. ]

And of course, I have to go. [ She squeezes Alkaid's hand as if apologizing for this. She would stay with her if she could, but this seems like a way she can help. ]

I'm not sure who else should accompany us, if anyone. [ She looks around the room at the others, wondering if any of them will volunteer. ]

[ Alkaid merely squeezes her sister's hand in return. Even then, the notion is light and lacking her usual conviction. She understands and does not hold it against her. K'thisru has always been one for action. ]

This is my idea, and so, I must go as well. [ Alisaie nods and looks to the other Scions. ] Who else will be joining Thancred, K'thisru, and I?

[ Urianger leans in his chair as his head tilts in thought. ] Mine own studies of the primals might better serve the investigations of the Towers for now. There would be no doubt that these Towers are connected to the rise in primal activity. Beastmen are known to summon their gods from protection, but, it doth remain a mystery as to how King Thordan and his Knights were resummoned in Ishgard. It is a matter I intend to thoroughly look into. Should any feel inclined to investigate along mine own side, the help would be appreciated.

[ Alkaid slowly raises her head to look at the other Scions then. She is aware they are waiting to hear what side of events the other Warrior of Light will side beside. Her two-toned eyes look at each of them in turn before shaking her head. ]

I am staying here; with Ser Aymeric and Estinien.

[ Alisaie's gaze softens slightly. She can't say she was not expecting this. ] Oh, Alkaid...

[ Without thinking, as is her usual way of acting, K'thisru scoots a little closer to her sister and wraps her arms around her in a warm embrace. ]

Of course you're staying here. Ser Aymeric needs you, and as for Estinien, that is his friend. [ And brother, her inner voice adds.

But then she turns to look at each of the others who have elected to remain. ]
Will you be all right in our absence?

[ Perhaps unsurprisingly, Alkaid melts in her sister's hold. She lowers her head to rest it against K'thisru's shoulder and lets her eyes fall shut. It is difficult to explain the amount of pain that her heart--even her soul--seems to be in over the ordeal. Perhaps K'thisru could understand to some degree. Alkaid knows that her sister is oh so very fond of the Crystal Exarch and always has been. ]

I will have to be.

[ Urianger's gaze softens as he turns his gaze to the other older Scions. What are their thoughts on the matter? He cannot deny that the Warrior of Light would be a great asset to their mission outside of the cure. ]
