[ he waits for soo-won to finish doing math. ]

[recrowns]

I only know that Wolf likely lost one - and Fox did this week as well.

Could you tell me how many we've lost?

[retellers]

I cannot.

[recrowns]

I see.

[ . . . ]

Even if you were to lose your powers - would you be able to remain in the castle? Would it be safer for you to remain there?

[retellers]

I don't know.

In any case, I'm fine, so I will remain here this week.

[recrowns]

Would you be able to tell me if you're in danger?

[retellers]

Probably.

[recrowns]

... then that makes me feel better.

[he sighs]

I don't expect you to tell me who - but is there a chance the rule manifested because one of the leaders is currently in danger?

[retellers]

... Yes.

But you are correct--for their own safety, I will not name them.

[recrowns]

[he nods at that]

.... is there any way to restore their protection and ability to defend themselves?

[retellers]

I don't know of any way.

[recrowns]

... is there any way to shift team membership? If only to see if numbers could be evened out.

[though as he says this

he does reach for goat's hand as if to assure that he personally probably won't be going anywhere]

[retellers]

[ goat will let soo-won take his hand. ]

... I don't think so. Not that I know of, at least. Aside from perhaps if the Leader dies, but that's the opposite of what we hope to achieve...

[recrowns]

[swinging it between them as they finally make it to the Northern area]

Precisely so.

... though I suppose that answers what happens if something happens to a Leader - their remaining membership will be dispersed and reassigned?

[retellers]

[ glad they didn't end up in a cuddle pile this time. but now that they're here, goat removes his mask. ] I don't know for certain. That is merely my guess.

[recrowns]

[there's still so much room for cuddle pile, jan]

Hmm.... at the very least, it's something to consider. If the alternative were for example - death of a Leader results in death of their team... that would be even worse.

[though.]

... though I'd still rather not see any of you be harmed. I'm rather fond of you all, you know?

I don't want to believe that my choice to get to know you all was a mistake.

[retellers]

[ ... ] I'm glad that you have been speaking with everyone. People have been very kind to me, but I don't know if that's necessarily the case across the board, so I hope the others also have friends...

[recrowns]

[there's a smile at that]

Hansa likes you very much, at least. And I hope that everyone who knows my team would treat my Leader with the same kindness they offer me.

I think I'm still trying to learn how to talk to Fox and Tiger... so I hope they aren't bored when I call for them... but it's nice to get to know the others too.

[retellers]

I like him as well... so I'm glad. As always, it is difficult to tell what's in others' hearts. [ goat thinks for a bit. ] Those two are opposites in that Tiger complains often, so I don't know when they truly mean it, and I have rarely seen Fox complain, so I don't think they would say anything if they are bored. So I can't give any advice...

[recrowns]

[he nods along with that]

That's alright, I don't expect you to. I can only do my best and hope that they don't mind my company when I go to visit them.

As is, I like them. Maybe over time they can like me too - but it's also alright if they don't, so long as we can all work together.

[retellers]

I don't think that will be an issue, at least. We all want the same thing.

[recrowns]

Then as long as that's the case, that's the most important thing.

Have you gotten any new information about the monster eating nova, by any chance?

[retellers]

Nothing in particular... At the moment, it doesn't seem to be doing much other than eating nova, from what we can tell.

[recrowns]

How gluttonous...

[please say something else about it]

[retellers]

Indeed.
