WHO: Luke’s Emergency Contacts (and also him eventually) WHERE: Cygnus Academy WHEN:Mid August WHAT:Luke had a moment, and it’s about to get a whole lot worse WARNINGS:Tales of the Abyss
Cool it a little, you guys. No one's proposing we run to POKEGO HQ and tell them everything about Harumasa's and Luke's power. I get it, you're worried about stuff getting out. There's secrets I keep under wraps too-- but I think some of you are jumping fast to conclusions.
[He won't call Harumasa out by name, but he sure will give a couple loving but pointed pats on the head to Belle. Stand down a little sis. ]
However, Belle is going to need a map of Kanto if she hopes to guide us. And while your power will be a great help, Meow-Meow - even Bruno needed help finding out the exact location of the Everstone.
And the guy who helped him? Was Amal. Who I trust with my life, and knows even more secrets about me than even you do, Bellflower.
So to me... feels like a no-brainer to just ask his POKEGO-employed son for a map, don't you think? How much you tell him about the situation is up to you, of course.
[Despite everything, Harumasa does agree with Zelos. He's a lot more skittish than he would normally be in this discussion. So it is good to have someone gently calm them down.
But he also appreciates Belle's support, silent and vocal. As she bumps his shoulder companionably, Harumasa looks back at her and gives her a smile. It's genuine and reaches his eyes this time. Although he doesn't bump shoulders back with her like he does when they're in private, he does relax. He knows better than to provoke Zelos when they're having a civil conversation for once.
Anyway, he looks back to the others.]
What a coincidence! [Harumasa knows that Zelos didn't make this a coincidence whatsoever, but he'll play along.] Varian happens to know a lot of my secrets, so I think that speaks for my trust in him~. I know he's currently got a lot on his plate, but even if he can't spot us a map, there are two other people in POKEGO I trust without question.
As for how much we tell him, I think that's up to Asch and Luke.
[Harumasa could vouch for Varian's character until the cows come home, but that's not always enough. He'll respect their decision to decline talking too much about the situation.]
