Nenene had never seen the Head Elder react in such a way, and as much as she needed to be there for the older woman, there was just as good odds her aid would be perceived differently by the person in question and make everything worse. Instead, the younger woman simply sent a message to her mentor before turning her attention toward the task hand.<br/><br/>"As it stands now, the first thing we'll need to address is increasing our current defenses and being vigilant throughout the next few days and nights as we assess how best to move forward with everyone available to fight or help with supplemental roles. I personally will be taking a fragment of Mr. Kamiizumi's advice and intend to speak with Miss Takanashi at length in regards to the combat-oriented Blessed have short spars or other competitions to help each other gain some awareness of their own weaknesses and others' strengths. For now however, it might be best for us to separate for the time being, lest and other grievances air amongst us. Miss White, if you wish to further discuss your visions or anything else I can help with, I would like to extend the offer. And Mr. Kamiizumi, as much as I hate to say this, perhaps it would be best to learn some tact with your words? As true as they were, there aren't many people that like being cut with a blade, physical or verbal."<br/><br/>Even despite her youth, Nenene sought to take a little charge of the situation herself, at the very least so as to not be completely dominated by Jeremiah's wisdom. After all, she had been called back to teach because of her abilities, and as far as Nenene understood, Akira would never compliment someone's skills on combat alone.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://cdn.myanimelist.net/s/common/uploaded_files/1472310102-7677863927d8b3e8b0515b11f76c4760.jpeg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Seth Kamiizumi  セート　神泉</span><br/><strong>Blessed By::</strong>Athena<br/><strong>Location::</strong>Akira's room -> Athena House<br/><strong>Company::</strong>Carter, Kenzie, Nenene, Jeremiah -> Open<strong>Mentioning::</strong><br/><strong>Date/Time::</strong>Saturday, June 20<br/><strong>Mood::</strong>Defiant, Confident -> Focused<br/><strong>Wearing::</strong><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Formal Kimono</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/67/8e/e2/678ee232f739bd3925ef815c9de23d3.jpg)</div></div><br/><hr/><br/>Meanwhile, Seth was taking the Elders' words to heart to a certain extent. He looked at Jeremiah, locking eyes with the older man. "Trust me, even if I didn't know about this shitfest, I wouldn't be enjoying the party nearly as much as you want me to. Not after everything that's happened today. And if I wasn't going to have buckets of fun, I might as well spend my time doing something besides drinking and smoking in the corner. If I had to guess though, the person who left that note is either Nenene by process of sheer coincidence, or just isn't a current Blessed. I don't know what sort of defenses are really on the property, but the way everyone's talking about it, it'd take some considerable skill or prior knowledge to sneak past everything from the outside... But on the same train of thought, I can't really think of anyone living here that would want the Village gone. Most of us think of this place as a better home than we left, and the rest have no motive."<br/><br/>Seth couldn't tell where this conviction and confidence came from, but by the gods was it needed now. His mind was crystal clear compared to the hazy fog it had been in at the Athena house, and his tongue seemed to form words before he even knew what to say. Perhaps this was his goddess answering his prayer. "Either way, we're not solving this mystery by standing in a prayer circle and jacking off each other's bullshit theories. I just know I'll be needing more than a pistol if this threat is anything less than a team of 10 people, so I'm borrowing a forge for a while." He added, his brain having caught up and decided to sling some more mud in everyone's face before he walked out.<br/><br/>If Carter followed him for any length of time, Seth's only objective for the moment was making it back to their house to disappear into his room and write out plans, his messy scrawl filling the pages of his notebook with a Plan A through O for whatever was happening, his hand only stopping when his screamed to stretch lest he develop carpal-tunnel.
