>"Then yes, I trust you in this."
>The Fire Champion regards you evenly, silently, for a time again. "
I still think you are an optimistic fool." the creature says at last. "
Too much for your own good. It could be your undoing one day."
>"
But in this case, it won't come from me. I would not betray your trust, but I also will not help you. You have helped us, and you have hindered us. You have said that you will continue to fight us even after you helped us today. I cannot trust you, and I will not help you."
>"However..." The Champion turns its head to look over its shoulder. Following its gaze, you see Lily and Flandre re-entering the airport terminal. Flandre appears to have recovered from the bout of sorrow the Champion described, as she and Lily are singing together. But you believe Fire is not looking at them so much as past them, out to the airstrip. "
I will not help you. But I can't say that's true for every Champion." it says thoughtfully, returning its gaze to you.
