... On the merit of strength alone: Hansa, perhaps, if I was wounded first. And I will acknowledge that the other immortals likely have skills worthy of their many years.
[...]
I would normally count Ruler among them, but without her powers-- [A frown. It pains him to say as much, but no, he shakes his head. She could not take him out, either]
But I doubt many would attempt to attack me so recklessly. Blanca might have the skills to kill me if I couldn't see him. The same could be said of Claude, Raven, Shima, and Soo-Won.
[A pause, then glancing at Emet] You as well.
[Like. He's just being honest.]
But of everyone, the only ones I have confidence would correctly assess the situation to kill me efficiently would be you, Hansa, and Ruler.
[he sounds a little amused about it, actually-- and then just waves a hand.]
Perhaps I could, perhaps I could not. Much would depend upon the situation itself, with my abilities dampened, but they are not all I have ever relied upon.
[... His faith in Chiron's ability to just walk away is perhaps unwarranted given he does the opposite and just closes the rest of the distance so he can sit next to him.
[Noticing that he is neither dead nor suffering, and that Emet-Selch hasn't even moved. Almost immediately Chiron relaxes into place, tail again whipping to the side.]
I thought it a fair compromise to physically pulling you over, and there is unfortunately no second bear for me to distract myself with.
[Smiling as he says this. He's just glad that he can focus again. A frustrated disposition does not suit Chiron, and it was starting to get hellish on his end.]
I was, yes. They did not have much more of an idea about the situation than we already had. I asked about the boy's implication, and they thought it likely meant one of their co-workers was, as they put it, a backstabbing bitch.
[that's interesting... he'll have to bother them more in private.]
Ah, Tiger also clarified that while the Realm is certainly influenced by things like last weekend's events, it does still have defenses against purposeful manipulation. We will not be able to simply try to influence it in ways we prefer.

Is that correct? Well then, if you don't mind humoring me--
How would you approach the manner of my death.

Though it's that deliberation which leads me to believe we'd be an even match in some situations.
[He says thoughtfully while ... getting to his feet (hooves?), suddenly]
no subject
[he doesn't move as he watches chiron stand, just arching a brow.]
Finished with this already?
no subject
Like, literally next to him.]
No. I only decided to move.
no subject
[a slight huff, there, but he doesn't get up to move away. it satisfies that compulsion, finally, which is still an annoyance of its own.]

[so, yes, just moving himself was a good plan.]

Were you able to talk with your Leader by chance?
no subject
[so, you know. it went about like that!]
no subject
Yes, that seems to be the consensus then... they are certainly a diverse group. Goat might be near our age, or has certainly implied as much.
