[color=2e3192]~~~Minadi~~~[/color] I looked hard at Ulu, waiting for a response. He stared for a second, clearly thinking about something.[color=slateblue] "It is suspicious I agree, but we are in no condition to take this journey now."[/color] Ulu responded, a few seconds later, with a small grin. I was about to respond when Viv chimed in. [b]"You're.. you're right. We all can't just leave."[/b] His posture flipped from up to down with his head back and his shoulders down. [b]"We have to round up everyone and get a plan of action settled!"[/b] Viv was doing it again, acting like a leader when there was clearly a democratic structure in the club. Ulu and I needed to shoot him down every once in a while, being the eldest and most experienced of the group. [color=Khaki]" Hey Viv...ummmm what exactly is going on. I know I'm late but it won't happen again and i know i say that all the time but really I'm working on it."[/color] Rai had walked into what was about to develop into an argument. "[color=2e3192]Ulu is right, the journey is long and we haven't the provisions to make the trip. You, Viv, may be able to fly, but the rest of us would need to walk, with the exception of maybe Pallus who could hover the whole way as long as the darkness didn't corrupt him. If the majority of us still think it's a good idea to go, then we should take a vote or elect a leader to decide, of course the two best candidates being Ulu and I, being the eldest here.[/color]" I looked around the room judging the groups reactions, "[color=2e3192]Unless, of course, anybody thinks Viv would be a better permanent leader?[/color]" the challenge may have been rude, but it was required to put Viv in his place for another month or two, after all, he did tend to recklessly rush into things and this was a great example. Never mind that everybody followed him just because he assumed the leader's role.
