[Well, that certainly is part of it, it's his aesthetic. But that's not the only reason why!!]
I always put my all into everything I do. I've been blessed with natural magical talent, but I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today if I hadn't been willing to work for it and fight my way to the top.
[Not literally. Usually.]
I've come to see this as a challenge; it's us against the Lady and I intend to win. There's so much I don't know here, which stacks the odds against me, but there isn't a challenge I haven't overcome and I'm not starting now.
[ Rean couldn't help the light-hearted joke, considering the other's status as a tactician and everything as well. ]
...I can't say that some part of me doesn't see it that same way, so at the least we do have that in common.
But, I don't doubt you'll stop being reliable, and so I will believe in our success against her in this awful game as long as we're able to all keep supporting one another.
[ To an extent because Rean wasn't expecting everyone to hold hands and sing praises of Aidios together. ]
I agree. We've already fractured this group enough; at this point we do need to stop killing each other and try to work together to put a stop to the Lady's plans. Not that it will be easy, and I'm sure a few more people will die before we're able to understand exactly what she's been doing here, but working together is in our best interests.
While I am still furious at Rideaux, I'm willing to put that aside and work with him, if need be. Though it would likely be best to keep us separated, if possible.
[He may be willing to overlook the fact that he tried to get Rideaux killed, but he's pretty damn sure Rideaux won't. They have bigger things to worry about, though.]
It really is. I don't like the idea of people dying being a certainly before we're able to truly band together, but...it's a reality I realize I must accept at this point. But, I've certainly have had enough, and so have you.
And I bet some of the others as well, so it's a matter of time.
[ He recalled his discussion with Raven, which made him feel a little bit of hope but he knew better than to get them up too high in regards to murder maybe not happening... ]
...I'm glad to hear that. I'll also keep that in mind, and at the very least I don't think he'll object to having to work with you if we're able to keep both of you separated. I know how he can be, but I'd like to think survival takes precedence over any grudge he'll have.
Precisely. I don't have any interest in arguing with him further.
[...okay maybe that's not the truth, but he'll try not to start fights, at least. He can manage that much. Hopefully.]
I appreciate your assistance, Rean. You've done such an incredible job of keeping us on task this far, and I have no doubts you'll continue to do well through the end of this. I doubt it can last for much longer.

So don't worry. I'll keep being useful.
