Yes, She is Happy that you got back from THERE safetly, Yes, she is relieved and grateful you didn't end up D e a l i n g with FAYETTE , and YES, she is practically fretting over you like a mistress that just reunited with a young ward of theres. You had a feeling that were you not surrounded by other, more Spiritually attuned and Insightful people, She would demand and audience and probably want to get you out of this mess, so badly SPOOKED by your most UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER with that.... B e i n g .
It wouldn't be hard to convince Her for you to Continue Fighting the Good Fight through your Connection, though She'd be rather stressed about it all the same.
All your Mons were mysteriously Auto-Recalled when you reappeared - save Gloomtail, who looked and felt [V E R Y S C A R E D ] after everyone's ENCOUNTER with THEM , pacing around further back and twitching/jumping at every odd sound. You didn't see them in the MEETING, but that doesn't necessarily mean they weren't a part of it somehow....
Wow. Your Patron....She has gotten really invested in you. Hell, you're confidant she actually CARES, *just* a little. Which....isn't necessarily a good thing , mind you - Haunting Tales of the Laughing-Cruel One's Favor she had towards those that caught her eye are well known legends of tragedy, drama, or the wackiest rom-com imaginable spring to mind - but at least this means your Patron no longer considers you a 'mere' Disciple of Hers? Something to explore later....
The BLs were left in a location well off from the Super Boss; a direct path to IT is available from the former CHAOS Zone, but going their would be quite a diversion without much to be gained on the PCs side and only serve to give time to the remaining baddies to rest and Plan without harassment.
And try to convince her to let him keep fighting he would, after all his team only really recived a scratch so far. It really would be the more ~~interesting~~ option, wouldn't it = ) ?.
He'd promise to run if things got too bad, after everything else he survived and with his friends this wouldn't be the end of him. Dealing with her newfound care for him would prove to be interesting.
He did feel bad for Gloomtail. If even *she* was scared of that being he could only imagine what he must have felt. Walking over to the dragon and placing a hand on his leg. (if only he had aromatherapy lol)
''You're safe now...., I'm sorry you had to see that. A presence like that is not easily handelled but its over now. Do say, would you still be willing to keep on fighting after this? Your skills are still greatly appreciated''
Cosmic would be returned to Ross, a shame he couldn't be of too much use but it could also be a good sign that his services weren't needed. ''Guess you won't see Ecclesia in action after all, maybe we can arrange something some other time.''
With saying his goodbyes to one dragon there comes a positive though, withdrawing Lani so she could be present at the main event.
