[ Riku's got no reasons to suspect anything bad, so he's more than happy to follow. After all, if Tenn trusts C-ta and Suga, then Riku does, too. Besides--C-ta and Suga are nice. ]
Tenn-nii's always on top of things. [ He gives his brother a smile. ] If there's someone reliable here, it's him.
[ He clears his throat and leads them all to the courtyard. He's not in a hurry, but he's not really taking his time, either. They've got Business to discuss, after all.
When they're there, he turns to face them again. ]
Riku, Suga-san. Long story short, C-ta and I were talking about forming an alliance, and we would like you both to be a part of it. We aren't sure who else is trustworthy at the moment, but it'd be best if we could all watch each other's backs.
I have a feeling that it will definitely come to that.
[ c-ta smiles wryly, glancing at suga before directing his gaze to the others. ]
Tenn-kun told me something that's right-- we don't know how desperate people are to fulfill their wishes. And I don't think that any of us are able to defend ourselves if we go against, say, that one knight or that lady that "pretends to be human". So it's best to stay close to each other, just in case.
[ Riku nods. Tenn had told him the same, and he hasn't been able to forget it. He doesn't like it, but...
C-ta has a good point, too. ]
I don't want to think that anyone would do that... but... we don't know a lot about the others' worlds here. [ And that's the part that trips him up the most... ] So, I'm definitely okay with sticking together. There's safety in numbers, right?
As much as I'd rather things not play out how Hamelin wants them to, we can't turn our eyes away from the truth. I don't think any of us have combat experience, so we're at a disadvantage; but safety in numbers is one thing we can do to make sure we make it out of this alive.
[ Maybe not unscathed, but being alive at the end of all of this...that's all they can really ask for. ]
I think it's also important to share information, if we can.
[A lot of people are looking at him and he feels like his answer is going to be disappointing??]
I made an anti-spirit charm in the shape of a sword It's not sharp but weaker spirits are hurt when it touches them But I don't have it or the materials here + fighting humans doesn't work like that
Well, I guess we're not all humans here either. We have a Nagaki and Morgan...but they don't seem like ghosts either, so I guess it won't work on them. [ ... ] But carrying a sword must give you some strength.
There must be a way to arm ourselves here. I'm sure Hamelin would get bored if we kept beating each other to a pulp with our fists all the time, after all.
[ Hm... ]
Suga-san, are you experienced in swordsmanship? If you are, some lessons may be beneficial for us.
A real sword is sharp Weighs more You have to put force into your swings instead of just touching the spirit with it It's not equally effective no matter where you hit them It's different

I've fought spirits
But that's very different from fighting humans
It probably wouldn't help that much
no subject
[ though he'll glance at??? suga??? ]
You've fought ghosts? How?
no subject
[ As long as it doesn't require Riku trying to deceive someone, he'll be golden. But at that, he blinks. ]
You fought them? I can talk to ghosts, but I've never fought one.

I'm guessing you don't have those same capabilities here, do you?
