“If you’re sure.”
“She’s not the only person who gets a say,” Grue said.
Yeeah, this is exactly the kind of plan he was calling her out on before.
“Name a better option, then?” I said.
“We all go to the library’s shelter, then we all go to the shelter Leviathan attacked,” he said. “Safer, smarter.”
Of course he wants to do it the most cautious way. But then we’re back to Lisa’s worries about missing them.
(Incidentally, going to the library first is actually a good choice. If it wasn’t a narrative – i.e. if I were in-universe and had no clue about Wildbow – I would’ve called that as the most likely location from the start, due to the state of the shelter Leviathan attacked.)
“If you’re worried about me being defenseless,” I suggested, “Regent could come with me.”
Sounds like fun!
“There’s a reason we’re keeping that pair close to us,” Grue said. “If he gets taken down, you’ll have to deal with Shatterbird on top of everything else. We’re capable of handling her, I think. I don’t know if you are.”
Fair point.
I frowned.
Tattletale looked back at the others, then back at me. “Go.”
Yeah, I suppose you just gotta cut the rope here. If you stand around arguing all day they’re even more likely to get away.
I looked at Grue.
Tattletale pointed. “Go! Stay in contact!”
I turned and lifted off.
See ya later, when you catch up!
