Should they betray their agreement, Raiden was prepared to take full advantage of his abilities. He wouldn't hesitate to use his skills to their fullest extent, even if it meant upsetting the balance he had been so cautious to maintain. The thought steeled his resolve, if they pushed him, he would push back, and he wouldn't hold anything back.
In the end, Iri and some others spent the whole afternoon talking with the council and they returned tired after all that. Dinner was already ready when they returned… Raiden had started cooking larger portions from the beginning and while the others didn't ask him for it, at least they didn't let it go to waste what he had cooked.
"Aren't you going ask what we talked about it?" Iri asked.
"Aren't you going to talk about it?" Raiden asked.
"Maybe I shouldn't talk about it…" Iri said.
"Maybe I shouldn't ask it either," Raiden said.
