[Yuan's thoughts have followed much the same line as Kratos's, that if Efreet comes down on the side of refusal that there will shortly be some new geographic features in the Triet area. Sylph, in addition to being easier to distract, are not that hot-tempered.]

[He doesn't comment on the spirits' temperaments, however, but frowns at Kratos some more instead.]

I'd have thought it the opposite. We are responsible, Kratos. For all of this. I doubt the spirits would take kindly to us leading the re-making of the world, only to make the same mistakes.

[They are the future now.]

[Granted, Yuan hadn't thought that for a certainty even several hours ago. But with Kratos's determination that this is where they take their stand, and seeing all of them-- seeing Colette, so like Martel, argue on their behalf--]

[It is, conceivably, in arguing with Kratos that he has come to this conclusion. And that is the same as it ever was, and nearly makes Yuan laugh. He nods to Sheena.]

She has the right idea. We'll see what Undine has to say about this.

[Raine looks, very briefly, ill at the thought. She knows where the seal of water is, and she does not enjoy the idea of going back to it. But she rallies, and inquires.]

Is that everything, now?
