Yeah, convincing Celia is worth the trouble. You have an impeccable team who has never let you down, and more importantly, there are revenges to be served! Celia can’t be greedy!
“I wouldn’t consider them dead weight, if I were you. Trust me, if you think I’m a one-man-band, you’ve never seen me play.” You get a little sassy. “Let’s not run the risk, okay?”
“Sell me on them. Reassure me or whatever.” Celia wants to hear you talk. That’s it. She’s going to prolong this 1-on-1 time as much as she can.
“Remember Rora? The Dewitts?” You set the scene.
“I remember those deadly hugs…” Celia places a hand over her forehead.
“Do you imagine those cuddly women hurting anyone?” You ask.
“Not on purpose.” Celia can imagine it.
“Well, there’s one person who they resent. Mainly Rora as far as I know.” You don’t speak for everyone.
“You don’t mean…” Celia looks down at the picture of her father.
“Yep, Mr. Youhao himself. The family you talked about? It’s them, but it isn’t a rosy story, far from it. It’s not my tale to tell, but I will have to just let Aurora be on board…” You’re determined to have Honey Bunny around…
You tell the tale of the Dewitt backstory. The ups and downs. The abuse, the hate, the abnormality, and pieces left who somehow stand together against the shadow Youhao casts.
“...And that’s it.” You finish the story of the chains around the Dewitts.
“Makes me wonder if they would’ve treated me so well, if they knew who I was.” Celia sounds a bit guilty.
“Absolutely. You aren’t your father.” You’d be in a lot of trouble if crimes were passed down… “There’s no way they’d hate Gisella and Pammachio’s sister.” Not that you can speak for the little boy.
“Now you’re making me feel awkward.” It never crossed through Celia’s mind that she has more relatives.
“Half-siblings are siblings.” You have a vested interest in this, since you and Ame are that…
“Fine, bring her over. I’m going to need a moment to clear up the air with her.” Celia wants to feel comfortable in the mission. “You mentioned someone else.”
“Yeah, I didn’t steal the scroll by myself, I had a full team. But above all, the scheme started with an invaluable ally. Let me tell you all about her perks.” You bring Crossbill into the conversation.
You explain to Celia how useful the bird lady with soft steps is on missions like this. Backup feels redundant with her aid. And she can take the initiative if needed to. You have a hunch this will come in handy for this mission in particular.
“In a way, I’m joining your mission, huh?” This is what Celia takes from your talk. “That’s what this is all about?”
“No, I don’t wanna mess with your ideas. This is your plan. I’m providing feedback and resources.” You adjust your glasses. “We want to succeed above all.”
