Well, I was really expecting this to go further today, but, well, I guess not, and I'm going to bed now. It should be pretty obvious where I'm going with this. I am, of course, comparing Remilia's fairy situation to the situation we're currently in concerning her and the islands. I'm assuming she would not tolerate an occupying force in her home, as justthe same, we don't want someone else taking control of our home. She may say that the reasons behind the attacks are different, but I say mention that ourselves first, and say that we can get to that, but to ignore it for now. She's also likely to say that she hasn't taken over our entire home, and I would advise bringing that up immediately after presenting the comparrison, before Remilia has a chance to respond. Don't give her any semantic bullshit to hide behind. And if she still tries to play semantics games (which would not surprise me), I'd say call her out on it. Tell her to stop playing such games. I'd say to tell her that she's well aware of the point we're trying to make, so she should cut the bullshit and get to the point she knows full well we're making, which, of course, is that she wouldn't tolerate someone else taking over her home, even just part of it, and yet she expects us to accept her taking over part of our home.
Now, if this doesn't work at all, well, I would also recommend not completely dismissing the idea of asking if Remilia would accept running the islands over controling them. We don't have to actually offer that to her, but as I said before, asking that question would force her true motives out into the open. I know some of this may be a little, um, blunt for Iku, perhaps a bit forceful, but I don't think we'll make any progress if we aren't like that at least a little. I think that we're trying too hard to appease Remilia right now, and that if we're going to get what we want out of this, we need to take a different approach. I think we may even earn some respect if we demonstrate that we're not going to tolerate any more bullshit from her.
