It's over.

I've decided.

:O???

What?

[8th_castellan]

I decided. I've made my choice. Then one I've been trying to make all along now.

[displaced_robo]

Um. Salazar. Buddy. There's a lot of choices to be made.

Which one? *clueless!*

[8th_castellan]

Los Illuminados.

My friends.

I've decided finally about that. No more split loyalties. I've picked only one.

[displaced_robo]

Salazar, you're being ambiguous on purpose. :P

C'mon, spill it already. ('Else I'll have to go ask the Hands, and I bet they'll tell me.)

[8th_castellan]

Sorry. I'm just a little-...

...I choose my friends, Custodis. I pick you and Hippolyta and Vex and Anna and Gale and all the others. I choose the Nexus and those in it.

I'm free, Custodis. I'm done.

*Custo blinks. No, really. His irises shutter shut with a click and reopen slowly. Then he all but tackles Salazar, picking him up out of joy and such!*

Really?! Reallyhonestlytruly?! Oh my PUMPKIN PIE YAY!

*BIG DORKY ROBOT HUG!* :D!!!

[8th_castellan]

*Oooooh boy. Ramon was NOT expecting a reaction like that. He's scooped up easily enough and blinks a few times in shock before he finds his voice again.*

Uhhh, si. Truly. It-It's over and done with...

*He smiles meekly.*

[displaced_robo]

YAY!

*Custo remembers his manners all of a sudden and releases him from the grasp of the Big Dorky Robot Hug.*

Sorry. :D;;;

But yay and stuff and I'm glad that you decided SOMETHING. :D (That it happens to be us friends is just a bonus.)

[8th_castellan]

*That smile gradually becomes a bit more certain and less sheepish and worried.*

I-It's okay, Custodis. I'm glad you're happy over this. It-...It was hard, but...Si, I realize it's the right choice...

[displaced_robo]

I am happy because you're not all split and confused and hurt! :D

Which is great! \o/

This calls for...SOMETHING! :D something...GOOD! *PLOT*

[8th_castellan]

Oh? Good? Um, oh dear. Dare I ask what you might have in mind?

[displaced_robo]

Depends on how well you can swim.

[8th_castellan]

Uhhhh...

...I can swim. Well enough. I suppose.

Why?

[displaced_robo]

How good are you with being at a beach?

[8th_castellan]

Eeesh, too much sun. And people.
