It'd be the real last chance anyone would have to make their move, if we get the original wizards back from this.

[ alright, now that they're far enough away from collapsing ceilings, khun reaches out to his lighthouse again. he's able to focus more and when he senses who the two people are at the old sage's room, he doesn't bother to hide his frown. ]

Looks like there's two people already protecting the old sage: Ginger and Mika.

...even if I was inclined to help them, I doubt it would be a good use of my time because our synergy would be terrible. And they'll prioritize each other over anything and anyone else.

[ he knows this because he is exactly the same. ]

[ Tatara's expression is even when he nods. There aren't a lot of people he would grimace at knowing they were looking after the sage, and Ginger and Mika are not among them. The sage is probably in good hands.

That said, he knows who works and doesn't work. ]

It's also our last chance to make our move. [ They theoretically have several full moons until the calamity but...he doesn't want to wait that long.

He draws his gaze up to Khun, polished coral glinting. ] So we can leave them be. I trust them to do their job.

Could I ask you to do something else, then?

What is it? [ his blue is even, open, as he meets tatara's gaze.

he'd agree to almost anything, but he still wants to hear the request first. ]

Putting the sage back together should take priority.

[ Khun obviously heard him shout right after the blast, but he's just voicing his train of thought. ]

The sage himself is probably safe, and I know plenty of the wizards will be happy to fight that thing. But you— [ He pauses, stares into Khun's eyes, and the rest of his request should be obvious at this point. ] I know you're capable. You should follow one of those threads. I know you can handle whatever's at the end.

I'll take the thread that connects to the Western wizards, I know that country better than anyone else here. [ they just Vibe and always have.

though khun wouldn't mind fighting that thing either, he really does feel like he's getting rusty not seeing the combat he usually would here. but there's something he prioritizes more than that, which is why he doesn't suggest it. ]

What about you? I don't want to leave you here with everything else going on.

[ Tatara quickly scans the area. If he were normal he'd be upset that their piece of home was destroyed, the place they worked so hard to make their own. But magic can fix it, and he's not bothered, so he can think normally. ]

I want to make sure the other threads are covered, then. [ He looks back up at Khun. ] Can you fly me around really quick just to check in on everyone?

Then I'll go with you.

Yeah, of course. I'll grab someone else to come with me to West because we have the numbers to send two people to each, at least. [ it's slight, but he eases just the slightest bit knowing they'll get to stick together. ultimately he would have gone off on his own if that's what tatara really wanted, but he would have been none too happy about it.

and while he registers the manor is on fire, he has everything (everyone) he really cares about at his side, and they can rebuild it if they need to regardless. the way he leans back, a quick brush of contact is his way of saying thank you, and then he's back into focused mode, his lighthouse moving to fulfill the request. ]

Let's go.
