Okay, I don't know where Kilga is, so...

I've stopped caring about the picture. Let Aya rot in her self-aggrandizement for all I care, it's not worth the effort.

Kilga: Huh. Well, I'll leave the possibility open in case you change your mind.

Once we get out of the cave entrance (and out of Kisume earshot) I'd like to address what just happened again. I don't want to fight Kisume, but I do want to get back whatever was taken and I have an idea for that, but Tenshi will need to be told in advance.

GuyYouMetOnline · « **Reply #656 on:** March 29, 2011, 02:32:37 PM »

Sure, go ahead.
