nine - [locked to DATS Commanders + Ivan & Nanoha]

Um... now that I can actually think coherently...

...

I should have... told you all about this beforehand, but... It happened right before the wedding, and I ...

It's not much of an excuse. I should have said something. But after everything that happened to Yoshino-san, I didn't want to detract from that day, and...

...a couple days before Masaru and Yoshino-san's wedding, Nanoha-chan and I ran into Xellos. I- ...what he's after, it's hard to say, but we pursued him, and his partner... His partner can evolve into a Wisemon now.

...

He didn't press a battle. Wisemon tried to force some... mind illusion on me, but once I broke free from it, he... Just left.

...I asked Nanoha-chan not to say anything, so please don't be angry with her.

It doesn't really ... tell us anything about what he may be after, either, but...

I figured you should know...

I apologize.

...right.

But, yes, I would. Xellos also mentioned one thing, in particular...

He told us that if we see Daemon, to tell him "hi." So Xellos has... obviously made some contact with him, somehow.

... I see. Judging by that response, I don't think that they're working together.

Thank you, Sora. This is actually quite helpful.

He also... kind of gave me a question, before Sora-san broke free... to my question. He said the reason he would have done the things he did, why he was doing what he did last week... were because of why Taichi-san needs the Holy Ring he gave back to you, Commander...

...and I don't know what Wisemon made Sora-san see, sir, but... I've been very worried about it...

[lionheartfather.livejournal.com]

... I see. Then he's against Daemon's efforts to control Taichi, and somehow, Sora-chan is important to this?

[locked]

So am I. If it really weren't important, she'd have been more forthcoming...

[aijounotsubasa.livejournal.com]

...I don't really see what he's trying to accomplish, then...

[lionheartfather.livejournal.com]

Well, I can see how Taichi's friends would be important towards making sure his Seal didn't overpower him. But why you specifically, I have no idea.

[aijounotsubasa.livejournal.com]

I understand THAT, Commander. Just... not what he was trying to...

...

You're right, I suppose...

[lionheartfather.livejournal.com]

This Xellos is as enigmatic as the Demon Kings. Maybe it has something to do with Lillithmon targeting you as well.

[aijounotsubasa.livejournal.com]

Lillithmon...

...she was behind Daemon sealing him, in the first place...

But... I couldn't really force things... I was worried it'd make matters worse... :|

Re: [locked]

I think forcing things would be a mistake as well. Unfortunately, I'm worried she may see our efforts to help as orders rather than hopeful pleas.

Re: [locked]

[lyricalmagical.livejournal.com]

...you're right, sir.

Still, it... bothers me.

Re: [locked]

Unfortunately, Nanoha, this is the kind of situation where there is no perfect choice.

We'll give her time... and if nothing comes of it, we'll do what we can.

Re: [locked]

...you're right, sir. I just... hope it's nothing too bad...
