He had inside knowledge he suspected none of them did and ever since this ordeal had started all of them had been suffering from a lack of facts to rub together to actually make any kind of an informed decision. This news was neither positive or negative, but any information as to why they were banished and what the possible disagreements were between their cases was going to be valuable.<br/><br/>"Well that is something at least." he agrees. It meant nothing for him personally, his original statement of non of his friends or family standing by him was still true but gaining comprehension into what he even did that caused this banishment was something he wanted to know. "I know very little of the Elysium and its workings beyond the various outcomes of some of the Celestials. Do you have any ideas as to how we could figure out who our possible ally is? I imagine without tipping off the others would be best." he asks then adds. "And then of course there is the contacting them so we could have some kind of discussion." These were difficult obstacles to overcome but not impossible.<br/><br/>Niko walked in silence for a bit trying to work on any strategies to help answer his own questions. He quickly set some short term goals to get his mind working in the proper order before tackling some of the more difficult problems. He wasn't the type to wait for others to do all the work. He could get into a good brood by the time they reached the city but Fen's remarks snapped him out of it. At first he was wondering what he'd done to make yet another person upset with him. Once again he calmly listened to Fen's accusations.<br/><br/>"Fen. All I said was that I--<strong>personally</strong>, had no wish to return. I based that on the fact that so far, it looks like I've lost all friends and family willing to care about my well being. I don't feel I have something to go back to." he reiterated once again. "When I said I wanted to measure my options first. I meant simply that I realize I'm working with limited knowledge about this whole affair. There may be very good reasons for all the things that have happened and the people I thought I could count on had to remain silent. I would very much like that to be the case, but I just don't know."<br/><br/>He takes another breath. "I did say that if anyone wanted to return, I'd be happy to help them. So to answer your question in a rather long winded way... No. I don't think we should just wait and hope. I'm not used to being hunted, nor do I like that idea any more than you do." That's probably not enough so he continues. "I think we need to gather intelligence first. Once we have something to work with we can make different or at least more informed decisions about our future. Short term plans...get some local clothes so I'm not in my underwear, find a place to stay maybe get a meal and a bath before some sleep. When I'm not so tired and cranky, see what we can discover about who is in the know around here. How about you? What ideas do you have to share?"<br/><br/>Glancing over to Korey he smiled at her reaction to Phoenix. "Fitting in should be interesting then and you'll have much to discover."
