That is an idea.

Though we can't steal with Amalthea cause alliance, I think?

Yeah, I know. Leo'd punch me, anyway.

How's Alectryon and Tiamat sound?

We DO owe Tiamat.

Well, Gloss is okay with it too.

So I guess we're going with those two.

Sounds good.

We owe them one "hit" in a harmless game, unless they've spent that already when I wasn't around.

Alliances are more for the rougher games, anyway.

Do we?

True.

Yep.

[...a sigh, turning half-serious for a second]

With our team, though, I'm not so sure that alliances are worth that much.

[flicks her ear from behind]

Then don't think of it as an alliance.
Think of it as "Ventus's best friend is on that team".

Ow.

[reaches back to yank on HIS ear]

I didn't mean it like that, you brat.

Hey -!

[rude!! its not like he flicked her hard or anything!!]

Well, maybe you shouldn't word it like that, nee-san.

Maybe you should let a conversation finish before you butt in on it!

Anyway....

[gentle punch in the arm >:(

but no, he'll shut up now.]

[ugh this is the weird kind of honesty she hates

listen in as she shares it with roxy and thus you]

[just gonna use this thread and stop hijacking your threads with roxy

blinking, listening, thinking -]

That's kinda what I already do.

[a shrug.]

I don't actually care about some dumb alliance.
I just don't pick on Amalthea because I'm friends with'em.

But I did target Alectryon, even if I've got friends there.
Situation at hand calls for it, y'know.

What do ya mean?

[hang on i'm squabbling with ventus]

...you two...

[h-hey he stopped ok]

[I AM GOING TO RUFFLE.]

[BOTH OF YOUR HAIR.]

[NOOOO MUH 'DO]

He started it. [SHE'S MATURE!!!] Anyway....

When I got here, I thought we needed alliances to survive. And that's still kinda true; it's easier to hurt teams you don't care about in bad games compared to ones that you're close with. Takshaka's the exception, not the rule.

[hrghhhh this isn't fun or easy for her to talk about, it's a revealing of some of the cards in her hand and that goes against some of her deepest instincts]

But teams don't stay the same. People can leave, show up, come back, redefine the way they do things. Over time, priorities shift and relationships change.

[folds arms, looks up at the ceiling instead of at roxy or ventus]

I think....it's better that we make choices we can live with, as a team, according to the situation at hand and what we each want. As much as we can manage. Even if the alliance with Amalthea gets tossed out one day, we still don't bother them because of Leo....that kind of thing.

Talked with Zelos about that, or did ya both reach that conclusion by coincidence?

I don't talk about this kind of thing with anyone.

[except for right now, aren't you two lucky]

...

We used to fight a lot. Rats did. Half the team were self sacrificing idiots, other half was pragmatic.

And someone of us was one way, pretending to be the other.

Lots of bad fights, lots of hurt feelings.

So kind of hit...wanting to play without regrets. That's the conclusion Zelos came to, and that seems to be how it goes most of the time.
