>"Then what was keeping Makai itself in, before?"

[Oldmansour]

>"Then what was keeping Makai itself in, before?"

>"I don't know." the demon admits.

[DracoOmega]

>"Do you know if the planet began to predate upon your kind immediately after your arrival there? Were these creatures already there, or did they only appear afterward?"

[Oldmansour]

>"Do you know if the planet began to predate upon your kind immediately after your arrival there? Were these creatures already there, or did they only appear afterward?"

>"Makai spawned its horrors to destroy us."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Let's revisit the previous question for a moment. You said that you cannot draw any solid conclusions. Do you think that any of your fellow champions could?"

[Oldmansour]

>"Let's revisit the previous question for a moment. You said that you cannot draw any solid conclusions. Do you think that any of your fellow champions could?"

>"Which question was that?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"How likely it is that Makai will try to follow your people into this world."

[Oldmansour]

>"How likely it is that Makai will try to follow your people into this world."

>"I don't really know. Forest is much wiser than me, but she doesn't know everything about Makai. But of us six, she would have the greatest chance of knowing."

[Hello Purvis]

>Nod.
>"It seems that it may be necessary to bring it to her attention, then, if your purpose is to conquer this world and make it a haven for your people."

[Oldmansour]

>Nod.
>"It seems that it may be necessary to bring it to her attention, then, if your purpose is to conquer this world and make it a haven for your people."

>"At the moment, Magical Lotus, I believe I will have to ask you to do that for me. Unless, of course, you plan to free me."

[Hello Purvis]

>"How would I go about doing so?"

[Oldmansour]

>"How would I go about doing so?"

>"You tell me, you're the one who made this cell for me."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I meant the former, rather."

[Oldmansour]

>"I meant the former, rather."

>"Contacting Forest, you mean."
>"I don't believe you can. At least I can't think of a way, not unless she finds you first. Which she will, when she comes, you can be sure of that."

[Hello Purvis]

>"And when she does, how do I let her know I am carrying a message from you?"

[Oldmansour]

>"And when she does, how do I let her know I am carrying a message from you?"

>"Tell her so." Louise says simply. "She will know if you are attempting to deceive her or not."

[Hello Purvis]

>"That sounds like a handy skill. How does she do it?"

[Oldmansour]

>"That sounds like a handy skill. How does she do it?"

>"I think that's a question you should ask her. If she chooses to tell you, so be it."

[Hello Purvis]

>Chuckle. "I suppose that is true. Does this mean that she can verify anything that I say, or just words that are carried from you?"
>"As well, if other champions should interfere, how shall I let them know I am carrying a message from you for Forest?"

[Oldmansour]

>Chuckle. "I suppose that is true. Does this mean that she can verify anything that I say, or just words that are carried from you?"
>"As well, if other champions should interfere, how shall I let them know I am carrying a message from you for Forest?"

>"I mean she can't be deceived. By you or any other Terran."
>"Tell them just as you'd tell Forest herself."

[Hello Purvis]

>"What would prevent the other champions from claiming I am trying to deceive them and interfering? It's quite easy for me to invoke your name for all sorts of things, should I be so inclined."

[Oldmansour]

>"What would prevent the other champions from claiming I am trying to deceive them and interfering? It's quite easy for me to invoke your name for all sorts of things, should I be so inclined."

>"Nothing." Louise answers. "It will be on you to convince them, and since you are still an enemy at the moment, they may not have cause to believe you."

[Hello Purvis]

>"And there is nothing you can tell me to help convince them?"

[Oldmansour]

>"And there is nothing you can tell me to help convince them?"

>"So long as you are our enemy, no, I cannot. I don't know the others enough to know what will convince them of that. I can tell you that Air probably won't care. You are Terran, so she will likely think you have nothing worth saying. But Forest is the only one you really need to concern yourself with. If she wants to listen to you, the rest of us won't interfere." She pauses. "Except possibly Air. Of all of us, Air is a fool."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I see. Did you all have no method to communicate with each other indirectly, then?"

[Oldmansour]

>"I see. Did you all have no method to communicate with each other indirectly, then?"

>"If we did, it wouldn't do either of us any good, as I have no communication with the world outside this cell. Apart from you yourself and your allies, of course."

[Hello Purvis]

>"No, but it would help me consider how to approach this problem if you did and shared that information with me."

[Oldmansour]

>"No, but it would help me consider how to approach this problem if you did and shared that information with me."

>"I can't. Anymore than you would tell me if you and your allies have such comunication means."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Are you sure? I would think it's rather important for you to share this information now, with regards to the task you have been given."

[Oldmansour]

>"Are you sure? I would think it's rather important for you to share this information now, with regards to the task you have been given."

>"You're still our enemy." Louise reminds you.
