#12 [locked to Satsuma]

Satsuma-kun... if you're not too busy, I'd like to have a talk with you.

Preferably over a hot lunch, at this nice little place outside of D'Ango? I'd rather we keep a discussion like this out of somewhere that's depressing and too crowded.

Well, you have my attention. Usually if you take that sort of atmosphere with me, you're being dead serious.

Just what sort of "discussion" did you have in mind, anyway?

[silverfisherman.livejournal.com]

DATS business, of course. Considering the disaster that went down in the Dark Area and us losing Nanoha-chan because of it, we need to rethink our priorities.

...But like I said, something this pressing needs to be spoken of in a less serious setting. Some place that would help us clear our minds and focus better.

[oni-no-ikkatsu.livejournal.com]

...I see.

But why not here? This is serious business, especially since it resulted in the casualty of one of our own! Shouldn't we find out our priorities here and now?

I meant what I said. Talking in a dreary office room about something this important isn't going to get much done except wind people up.

Besides, the little resort town I found would probably be more than accommodating. As long as nobody else knows about us moving about, we'll be fine.

That still doesn't mean I understand it any more. Why take something this important out into the open where spies could be watching us?

...And for that matter, what about Daimon-hakase? He's one of us, he deserves to know everything of what you're thinking!

Satsuma-kun. You know I never go into anything without thinking of the consequences. If anybody's trying to spy on us they'll have another thing coming.

And don't worry about him, either. I'll extend an invitation to him, although I can imagine it would be difficult for him to attend, considering where we're going. Besides, it might just be safer to only have two out of three, in case anybody tries to "shoot all their ducks in a row", so to speak.

You mean to assassinate all of the DATS commanders if they're all seen in one place.

[silverfisherman.livejournal.com]

Exactly. If anything happens to us, there will still be one left. And he doesn't go down without a tough fight, if his current condition means anything.

But you've got a point, of course. I'll send a note to him with pretty much everything I've told you, and if he can, that's fine. If not, we'd just have to relay our plans to him.

Either way, I don't think we'll be able to fight any of our major foes with nothing but Perfects. Kurata's shown us that, the Demon Kings have shown us that, and especially the Dark Area has shown us that as well.

[oni-no-ikkatsu.livejournal.com]

Very well.

--Wait, just Perfects? What exactly are you trying to suggest here?

[silverfisherman.livejournal.com]

Relax, I'll explain it when we get there. In the meantime, here's the directions to where I was suggesting. Bring whatever you'd like, if it'll help you feel safe.
