[giving the paper and pencils the most contemptuous look he can manage]
Tch.
Tch.
[ that look you're making ]
... Are we not going to play?
... Are we not going to play?
[it's an angry "I really hate you, Nyssa" look]
. . . I'll play.
[he plucks a pencil off of the table]
We're being given a chance to protect people for a change. I'm not happy about it, but I think refusing to play would be a lot worse.

I think so too. The question though is... who do we pick? There's twelve other teams.
[damn you html]
[twirls the pencil around his thumb and forefinger, an idle movement to keep his hands busy while he thinks]
We'll have to be a little selfish, I think.
[lets out a small sigh]
Out of all thirteen teams in Kyriakos, which one would you want to protect the most? I know it's a tough question, so if you can't answer. . . that's okay, too.

[ html, the cruelest mistress ]
[ she doesn't have to think on it very long, to be honest, even though there's a lot of internal struggle going on. after all, she'd like to protect everyone. but put forward bluntly like that-- ]
... My ties with the Epona, Cats, and Alectryon are probably the closest. What about you?

Cats and Tiamat. Tied for first.
[there isn't even a second of hesitation in his response, and he follows it up with a lopsided smile. he answers his own, very selfish question with bluntness of his own]
Some Echoes pair the Cat team with the normal teams, though. We might wanna make sure before we make any decisions. Also. . .
[he stops spinning the pencil and stares at it for a moment]
I wanna ask for her permission to communicate with the other teams.

[ Somehow she thought that cats might be his answer. she's pretty sure that protecting themselves isn't a possibility, though. AND YET... ]
It... probably can't hurt to ask if we can protect ourselves or talk with the others or know how the cats have been placed, but...
[ well, but this needs to be said. ]
Even if she'd let us--and I'm not sure she would--that might cost us something we don't want to pay, Kaito. You realize that, right?

. . . I'd rather protect another team over ourselves, honestly. But I'd never force a member of Tiamat to forego protection for themselves for the sake of another team, if they didn't want to.
[his smile turns a bit sheepish]
And there's no way to know what the price for information might be if I don't try'n ask, right?

I guess that's true. How do you think we should go about getting her attention?
Easy enough.
[he thinks]
[he turns on his heel and starts waving his hands at the ceiling as he calls out:]
Ooooi, Nyssa! I got two questions for you!
One-- are the Cats paired with the other teams, or are they playing on their own?
And two! Can we have permission to communicate with the other teams?
[since the rules said no communication without permission, right. . .? certainly if he gets permission it might be okay!1]

That's really direct!

[and now he's glaring at the ceiling]
Oi! That isn't an answer!

[ oh my god that icon wut r u doin even kaito ]
It's her game. She makes the rules, and there's nothing that says she has to answer any of our questions. It was a good try, though.

[BEING ANGRY]
Keh. I s'pose that's what I get for expecting her to be helpful for a change.
