>>9828720Once again, Holly said everything without having to say anything. Watching *this* internal conflict was painful. Shogun almost regretted bringing her name up...but she accepted it.
>Thank you for your faith.>As for our trainer, she's...they're......Shogun hesitates for a moment. But at this point? The inevitable verbal lashing she's going to get matters little. Holly's got faith and little choice besides.
>Well, to make a long story short, before Showdown, I had decided to try going to a bar...where I met Keron Croakie. And Keron Croakie knows Skelly Skelly, and so...>...so, we're...sort of...getting trained by the WWA's champion and her friend right now.Shogun winces. That didn't sound good.
>Look, th-the dojo wasn't available! A miracle appeared and I took it, as a woman of faith is wont to do!>I can assure you that I'm not a politicking suck-up or anything along those lines. Love them or hate them, they know what they're doing.>As for Lightning Nika, besides being beaten by Duna Sands somewhat recently, no, I think she's free. It'd help knowing exactly who we're fighting, so please, by all means.>Nikki Kade wanted to fight me or Onigiri one-on-one recently, but Skelly-san thought it was a trap and suggested I ignore her until it was time to take them on. As far as the Angels are concerned, they think we're too scared.>Hah! Far from it. They might not expect us helping you.>Well, I'm bringing in someone, and you are too. That seems to settle everything.>You've got any other aid I can offer...including Skelly's training, but with the dojo back and your little spat before the Rookie Cup, I assume you won't be setting foot in there.Shogun sheepishly rubs the back of her head.
>I plan on coming back, too. Eventually.>Grievances aside, I still want to make this a haven for the WWA by any means necessary. And that starts by ridding this place of the stink of those girls.>We might have lost the battle, but we haven't lost the war!
