[Lord Windos]

"We...we can't stop it.  Nobody can currently..."

He can't seem to figure out what else he's willing to say...

Faster than Kirlia could even react, Ventus stepped forward and gripped his shoulders tightly, leaning down to stare deeply within his eyes. The empath's gaze was not kind, understanding, or even patience at this point, their own irises had darkened of to the shade of the abyss, and they were just as warm and forgiving.

"Nathan Warren, get in control of yourself. You are not allowed to faulter now, or ALL is lost. Kirla, your mother, Shiva, myself, and everyone else you care about will suffer tremendously if those Vines are not handled in some manner soon, and we are the only ones that are vaguely aware of the magnitude of horrors these things can inflict upon Cheshire. Either we try to raze them to the ground now, or we flee to Stair City and rally the people their to exterminate in tandum, because doing nothing ISN'T AN OPTION. If you can't make choice or offer any advice on how to halt the Vines, then I WILL take the initiative and do what I can to stop them. Do you understand, Nathan?"

His tone is hushed, quiet even, but its suffuse with so much raw seriousness that a lesser man would wilt at being subjected to it. The question now is, is Nathan one such person? Or can snap himself out of this state of nilism and do something?
