Is the squid and crazy lady ever going to be quiet and get work done
"I don't think so," Xavier says under his breath.
"Rand and Rianna this is not the time nor the place for this power struggle," Xavier says calmly.
Then he will talk to Rand by himself. "Rand I do not trust this thief. So far he has shown no respect to those who could kill him easily what makes you think he will treat you any differently and he hasn't answered your question yet."
"You're a fool. What do you think you are down here? Something special? You're just another thug with a pointed stick, the same as everyone else. That's not worth the scum on my shoe. There's only one way to be anyone around here, and that is if you are going up. THEY", he says, indicating those three again. "They have an army. You need that. They have the powers to keep the door open. You need that. Without you, no-one cares. Without them, those whole thing is nothing. They are in charge. They have ALL the power. You'd better get used to it."
"Yes Rand listen to Rianna. All I can tell is that he is attracted to the people he thinks hold the most power. If he thought I did he would be trying to get in close with me. He could also be trying to gather our strengths and weaknesses to use against us or he would simply betray us when he feels we are outmatched."
"Besides when we talk about who is in charge I thought we elected a few people to do that. Also I would very much like to shut this person up so could I please lift something up to show him we as a group are in charge?"
Galder will put a hand on Xavier's and Rianna's shoulders.
"This isn't worth our time."
He stands between everyone and Kai.
"You want to weasel your way into our group politics? Fine. Welcome to the group. You think we should be listening to Rand and his prized pupils? Alright, I can understand why. They're charismatic and hold sway over the Force in ways that most of us others don't. But we are not idiots, and you should not mistake us for that. Don't stir the pot, Kai. We're painfully aware of our dysfunctionality already."
Rand will join Kai in being smug, though he does not trust the thief in the slightest. He has some personal motive here, I'm sure of it, Rand thinks.
"Good to have some fresh insight on our group dynamic, is it not?" Rand asks, smiling widely. "It's not as if I do not offer to teach the ways of power to others. You can stand with us, if you choose. You all know this."
Rand will in particular fix Rianna with a glance before moving to Galder.
"No need to spill blood amongst ourselves when we can serve for each other's betterment. Including getting up to the Red Level."
"I'm not a fool," Relle will contribute to this argument. "It's just hard to establish a leader when nobody can agree on what it requires. Galder would say brawn and skill, Rand would say brains and power. Somehow we don't have someone with all of the above."
Relle thinks that Xavier should give Gallador the stone. He could probably figure out more about it.
