Isabelle readies her strike, arm drawn back, preparing to [i]end [/i]this. She's shown she has what it takes to win, to fight a Zaldarian and meet their attacks head on. But there is still so much she's yet to learn about Marna, about Zaldarian culture - even all the sessions with Quar have only begun to scrape the surface. Quar knows the Evercity, but the Evercity is not what she needs to know to beat Solarel. 

What ... what if ... there is something in Marna's experience that might prove the key? [i]What if the answers she seeks are just here?[/i]

Is it the fear of that knowledge being missed which stills her hand? Or something deeper that resists the finisher, even though that's everything she's been trained to do?

Or is it simple curiosity?

It's a risk stopping to talk, but she has to know. What if she misses out?  

"Planning takes Tactics. Solarel lives tactics. But she also [i]reacts[/i]. She reacts with the knowledge she's built, the experiences she has. Those are her great strength, but they are also limited." replies Isabelle. 

"You've told me alot about Zaldarians, well let me tell you something about us Terenians. We're adaptable. We can change. We can [i]learn[/i] and we learn [i]fast[/i]." she continues. "Tell me, what Solarel [i]doesn't[/i] know. Tell me about the border raiders." 

"Help me have the chance to beat her in a way neither of us could alone."
