I hate losing. [ he replies. But, actually, no that's not true. He hates losing when the enemy is clearly not superior. ] Still ... I guess this was going to come down to luck in the end. If the Regent had just let us execute her in three days instead of five we wouldn't have had this problem. Looks like the Pleroma got real lucky this time.
[ There's a clear annoyance about the politicalness of the entire situation and that they're basically having to pay for it in the form of returning with news of failure. He'll go to lean against the wall, arms folding over his chest seemingly not carrying Howl close he is to Howl even in the form he's taken. ]
No point dwelling on it, but I guess we can't just let the Pleroma alone to their own devices anymore and will have to be more proactive about subduing them. I can't think of another way to please the Regent after this mess that isn't riddled with too many risks that are out of our control. If we fail too many times... well...
[ even Childe seems bothered by the idea. He's not scared of the Regent, but he isn't looking forward to being punished for this, either. He's well aware the Regent has control over all of them, which means one doesn't have to be afraid to be affected. ]
Failure will fast become intolerable, but I suspect we'll be spared as harsh a punishment as we would normally for it this time around.
The Regent openly invited the Pleroma, and these missions have already resulted in some traitors. Which... is obnoxious, but I guess it can't be helped.
