7th Invasion//Audio

[praxipads]

I have an announcement to make, though it seems that in the time taken to find the correct words, it has come too late. Many of you have already heard the entry of Jak and Erol...and I suppose it is my duty to assure that it has not been staged. Erol indeed will not--or rather cannot fight Jak, or any one of you.

For those who do not know, Erol is

[Zelda doesn't know what to make of this. Perhaps she should be relieved as she told Erol he needed to stop reacting in such a way.]

Baron Praxis... How quaint.
Perhaps there should be something said to prevent people from specifically encouraging him to be charged with assault...

[It's just a thought. The rest of the ship may take this as a means to specifically mock Erol, which would not lead to good results.]

[praxipads]

Any further suggestions, Princess?

[oblique_wisdom]

[Honestly, she's afraid she's offended him again and flies into a bit of a flustered state.]

A-ah... No, Sir...

[praxipads]

That's too bad.

I'm not entirely sure how to do as you ask.

[oblique_wisdom]

Well... It was...

It was a wandering thought. I honestly do not think the free will of other people can be affected--and likely that may be for the better.

[praxipads]

My dear madam.

Surely you, as a princess, must understand that discipline is needed, especially in the case of criminals such as Erol. Without it, why, what would keep him from continuing to hurting anyone, including yourself?

In fact...well. Nevermind, your grace.

[oblique_wisdom]

That was not my...

[Zelda. Calm down.]

You are right. I meant for those not involved in the situation. You cannot always control what it is they see, can you? I mean... Erol is one thing, but an entire boat of passengers...?

[It's a very ambitious thought, Praxis.]

... I would prefer not to be hurt...

[praxipads]

Ah, my mistake, Princess. I did not fully understand you.

I do not mean to govern this ship.

[LIES]

and I could not hope to convince it's passengers absolutely of obeying any will outside their own. Asking them to not seek revenge or any other arm onto Erol is all I can do, and it's all I will do. Simply ask.

[oblique_wisdom]

[Oh, Praxis. Zelda won't believe you that easily, but...]

Oh, good... I am relieved to hear you say such a thing. Yes, perhaps Erol has done terrible things. [Scratch that. He's done some really horrid things.] Yet I do not see how it would make the situation better by other people thinking it would be acceptable to take their anger out on him. I am so glad that you seem to share those sentiments.
