[spoiler]"We've already explained why we don't ask for help, don't waste my time. And I don't mind being compared to Sarimanok - he was a great man, however you slice it. A good King for almost all his rule, and always powerful enough to make the changes that need to be changed."

"Druddigon have Pokeballs. They just have a very high prey drive. I don't advise encouraging them to be let off their leashes, for your own sake."

"It sounds like we may be coming to an agreement, depending on the words of Nathan. Tell me, what do you look for in a dubious partner, since you each get to choose? Weakness, or strength? The answer will tell me a lot about you as a person."

"No offense taken. I do have half a mind to let the Druddigon loose, though... we'll see who they're loyal to."

".....Thank you. Would ask that you not threaten us in turn, though. Or no more than we already have, at the very least. As we have already seen, that is hardly.....condusive to negotiations."

If Cosh was addressing the group as a whole with his last question (Which is bolded), then Terra answers easily as such: "Strength. If I work with someone I don't trust, then I want them strong enough that they don't fear or hate me too much. Keep me in on guard and....in control, as I do to them. Stronger they are, the more they can help out too. Simple."

"Strength? Hehe! Oh, you might like Renekton. He knows a lot of spells for moving objects, hurling rocks, breaking boards...breaking bones, if it comes to that. He's also a martial artist."

"For a different kind of strength, there's Elya. She knows a great Tremor spell, spells for phasing through the ground, spells for dampening electrical or heat attacks. But feel free to make your choice of partner using whatever criteria you wish."
Well Cosh's description of Elya catches Spira's attention, specifically the phasing part. "She's not my final decision... yet... but I'd like to talk to Elya." If he can, Spira would try to get a good look at her face as he addresses the Scimitar; "I take it you might be a fellow ghost-type user, might I ask what your current team is?"
Y'all keep talking about teams but Scims don't think in those terms.

Elya: "I use Ghost energy to power some of my spells, but more frequently I use Ground energy."


She has 3 ground types, 1 ghost type, a flying type, and a grass type.

"What is your preferred style of combat, I get you are strong, but how do you use that strength?" This is the crucial point of what Spira is looking for, if she doesn't meet the criteria, he's going to try finding one (even if it means interviewing the pre-gauntlet acolytes) that balances pure brawn and smarts, preferably one that wouldn't clash with his personality.
