'I'm not sure Ilia will be giving us any help after Sain led half of their forces to death. Sacea... From what I understand they don't negociate with outsiders (Something like this was said in Fe6, Sacea Route), but Matis and Kenshin would have the better knowledge in this case. The Etrurian will no doubt aid us.' Alan spoke uncertaintly.

"I'm all for splittin' up, as long as we don't be stupid about it," he glanced over at the others. He honestly hadn't gotten much of the other talk, but he understood that they were splitting up. "I don't think many countries are gonna listen ta me though... With some sorta evidence, or a popular lord on our side..."

"Three groups makes the most since," Alexia cut in, trying to forge a compromise. She appoarched the map Lumino had mentioned. "One group can return to Ostia, through the most direct route, and bolster our forces there. Another group..." she traced a path similiar to one Lumino had mentioned. "can head to Etruria, and try to get some aid from them. I'm not sure about Ilia..." she glanced over at Lyndsey. "If they'll help at all, it would aid us to send our Ilian there."
"I'd suggest having a group led by each of our major leaders. Matis, Kenshin, and Matthias."
She nodded to each. "Matis has experience in Ilia, I believe... He could take Lyndsey and one or two others that way. Kenshin seems to have the best strategic mind, and would be best suited to head for Ostia, with whomever would do best there. Matthias can lead the third, and I'll escort him, to make sure he doesn't put his foot too far into his mouth. It would probably help if Lumino came as well... he is one of our only mages."

"I missed the part where I agreed to help you," commented Lyndsey, looking through slitted eyes at Alexia. She didn't particularly like the overly polite cavalier, especially after being caught and guarded by her. "You must've forgotten that I was hired to kill one of your 'leaders.'"

Lumino paid no attention to Lyndsey's objections.
"So the groups so far are...
Matis and Lyndsey towards Ilia.
Kenshin to Ostia.
Matthias, Alexia and Myself to Eturia.
That leaves Sokka, Katara, Ralph, Zeiss, Alan." Lumino began ticking his fingers off his hand. He gestured to Brad. "You, I remember you from Ostia, I'll assume you are with us...and that dragon, I don't know his name. The only one left is you." He gestured to Sergey. "Are you with us or not?"
"Regardless, each group should have a ranged combatant, and a few close ranged people. Be sure to keep them balanced. The group to Eturia has two ranged combatants as it is, I doubt it needs anymore. We should probably go with four people per group. Consider what mission you would be best suited to and choose. People who are quick, mounted, airborne or otherwise, should probably head to Ilia, to make it easier to travel. The people at Ostia are likely going to be defending from bandits or secondary attacks from Bern, so they should be hearty people, with good endurance."

"that's if everyone agrees to my plan," Alexia cut in, blushing. "I'd guess Alan wants to get as far away from Bern as possible... So Ilia might be a good idea. I really don't want to force people to go any where... We all know our strengths, and who we best get along with... We could probably form groups based on that..."

"And you seem to forget that for the moment you are working for us, like it or not." Matis said. Lyndsey had tried to strike him down, but she had been captured not long afterwards.
She didn't have much of a choice, really, considering the recent events. She could either follow their orders, or try to escape, and be stopped by the 10 or so warriors in the room.

"I'll go with Matis, I want to travel somewhere new, even though I am at somewhere I've never been before." said Ralph.

"That's fine by me. A thief would come in handy." Matis didn't know what they could expect on the trip. Probably nothing much, considering what a deserted and frozen place Ilia was. You could only survive being there if you had thick clothes or if you were used to the cold, just like the pegasus knights are. But hey, thieves are always a good thing to have on your side.
"And Kenshin might be able to get some of the remaining tribes in Sacae to help us out. After all, he went with the chief to a couple of the tribes meetings. I never did so myself..." he finished, almost regretting not having gone to any of said meetings. But he hastily shook that thought of his mind.

"But Matis, I was forced to. All he was your uncle, I was being raised to take his place. I don't know why he wanted me to take over when he liked you more."
Kenshin scanned the whole room. "But like Matis said, I've been to the other tribes before. I know some of them will not even let anybody in if they were not from Sacae. I can't go alone, that's just begging to be killed if I seen Hanon, and you all complianed about my 'suicide' mission before, your wanting me to die don't you?" Kenshin said in a sarcastic tone, something he rarely uses.
"Katara, do you and your brother want to travel with me? I could use you two in trying to help unite your tribe with us. But we'll need somebody to fight as well. Anybody want to become the fourth wheel for our little group?"

After hearing several voices for a while Brad stepped into the hallway to hear the voice of Alexia, she was here which means the others would be too. Brad returned his book, thanked Lord Pent and ran towards the large door which he hadn't entered yet. "Hello?" Brad said as he saw the familiar group.

Ryan who had stayed silent for a very long time finally spoke up. "I will go to Ostia if I am needed there, I will remain as a defence, Didn't you study in Ilia Brad, maybe you could get some help from there"

'I'll go with Kenshin. You're right Alexia, I do want to stay as far away from Bern as possible but, until I hear from Rath I'll go anyway.' Alan said reproachfully.

"You don't mind if some of them treat you like most of the people in this world treat us? I'll go ahead to the village and see how they feel about outsiders if needed."

'I'm kinda used to being treated like dirt. You know, I do have a burn wound for every conversation I've had with Flyssa and people like Alexia want to kill me even if I'm just looking for peace and quiet.' Alan said looking at the cavalier. He didn't resent her for it. She didn't have any idea how much the average Wyvern Rider desreved death.
