Well. She’s gone. And you guess the name’s pretty apt. You reap what you sow. Ugh. You do your best to try to make a telepathic connection with her one more time. ‘You deserve to be your own person, not defined by what I am or not or anything I say or do. And… if you want to talk or whatever, you know how to find me.’ With a sigh, you end it with both a telepathic and verbal, “…See you later.”
Melanos flies back, irritated, looking around for Reapa. He growls out a frustrated sigh. “Oh this is just great, we lost the tree, we lost the fruit, and YOUR little ‘accident’ is out there unchecked!” he points at you.
…For some reason hearing her get called that kinda annoys you. But you’re gonna be diplomatic about this. Probably the only chance you’re gonna get. “Melanos, look, two things. One, you give us directions to a ship, I toss you some eyedrops for that. Know how the sting will linger, even if you’ve got like… super regeneration or something. Second, why did you let Towa and Dabura hand over Gero? I thought you and your squad’s… or brothers’… whatever you guys are, that loyalty was to him.”
He glares at you, but as he does his eye flinches and he rubs it. “…You got the drops?” he questions, to which you hold out some for him. “Good. Give, and you get directions.” You toss it, and he casually catches it. Getting a few drops in, he explains, “Undamaged outpost to the north-east from this position, get there before it collapses into the planet below. All I’ll say about our supposed ‘loyalty’ to him or the rulers of the Demon Realm is this: we know better than to let them hold all the cards, call all the shots. Even if we see the logic in certain end goals, we also know they aren’t perfect. Not him. Not them.”
“...And if you find someone better aligned to your own ‘end goals’?” Glorio inquires.
Melanos looks at him with a raised eyebrow. “What a curious question. Guess it remains to be seen. Might want to hurry, while there are still a few left.” And then, he teleports away.
