[Training Grounds - Cutter]

"I think you might find hitting me harder than you expect," Wenomir says, picking up a practice longsword. "But yes. Let us begin."

[Front Gate Volunteers]

The orc will lead the Watchmen away from the gate, towards the mountains.

"What?! Why?" Ilphy looks surprised mostly. She is reasonably sure other Ilpholin gave up the ability to love and such a visit would end in disaster.

"Because DC put a bounty on her head. This has all gone too far, Ilphy. You and she need to undo what you did and be one person again." Darcy says.

Ilphy glances away. "That wasn't very nice of him."

"What happened when you went there?"

"No, it wasn't." Darcy agrees. "She was worried about me being there, but she wasn't worried about the bounty. I asked her to come back and she argued. She thinks that she'll hurt me and that you're better for me. I begged her, and... she said yes. She'll be here tomorrow." Darcy searches Ilphy's face. "Will you do it? Become one person again?"

"I don't know..." Ilphy says, her face covered with uncertainty. It's a lot to take in. "We both have to agree to do it fully or it won't work." Safety precaution from one forcing the other.

Darcy nods. That makes sense. "I know you'll have a lot to discuss before you can decide. I'm not sure that here is the safest place to meet though. Maybe we should go to your grove instead." She gives a fearful look up the tower, in the vague direction of DC's labs. "I can't believe him!"

"It's like he doesn't remember we're a member of Watch and are at AMEN on Watch's orders." Ilphy says with a confused look. It doesn't make sense to her.

"But if I agreed to come here, I would know I'd have to face him too. She probably intends to sort things out."
