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.

Re: DISCUSS
Alliances are more for the rougher games, anyway.
Re: DISCUSS
True.
Re: DISCUSS
[...a sigh, turning half-serious for a second]
With our team, though, I'm not so sure that alliances are worth that much.
Re: DISCUSS
Then don't think of it as an alliance.
Think of it as "Ventus's best friend is on that team".

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

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

listen in as she shares it with roxy and thus you]
Re: DISCUSS
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.

[god that makes her sound old and set in her ways]
Yeah, I know.

[okay but
what if he just
wraps an arm around her middle.
because she's doing things that makes her uncomfortable and thus obviously needs a little brother hug right]
Re: DISCUSS

Re: DISCUSS
[except for right now, aren't you two lucky]
Re: DISCUSS
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.
Re: DISCUSS
[Nodding, though.]
Re: DISCUSS
It...took a while before we could overcome our personal barriers, honestly.
