"Uh huh."

"And if I wanted to contact your leaders?"

The ogre hums. "Olgin not gonna want talk with human girl... unless human girl stronger than him."

The fey whisper amongst themselves. "Our Queen would likely negotiate, provided a guarantee of your neutrality," one of them says after a bit.

"I'll break up fights," she says, "And I'll try to talk people into peace. But I won't destroy one side for another's benefit."

To them all: "On my home plane, the uniform of my Order would be enough to mark my neutrality - and my power. My strength, at least, is easy to prove in a spar."

"My philosophy is harder to prove. But if there's a mutually acceptable way to prove neutrality, I'm willing to do that."

One of the fey shrugs. "The fact that you're doing this at all instead of killing us is a help. We will confer with her, and relay your promise, if you let us go."

Permalink

"I will."

She glances at her group. "Do we have any other questions first?"

Permalink

"Ah, is there some line of communication between your factions?"

     "Nope," the ogre says.

Jojo nods. "Anakin, do you have some way of communicating across distances?"

"I can send messages to people I know well enough to pick out in a crowd, but most don't have the trick of reaching out to me."

"I could send periodic messages to one of the people present here and keep my focus on that long enough to hear if there's any messages back, and that'd allow me to act as a relay between the factions."

Which would also allow her to track and somewhat monitor the people she's messaging. Her moral code doesn't, actually, demand she mention that.

"Would that be acceptable?" Jojo asks the fey.

     They nod. "Send them to me," one of them says.

Anakin nods, focusing on the fey's Force signature until she has the quirks memorized. And, to the ogre: "Are you also alright receiving messages from me?"

Permalink

"Yuh," the giantkin says. "Let me know when human girl coming into ogre territory. Otherwise guards probably squish human girl."

Permalink

She smiles a little. "I'll send a warning ahead."

Permalink

The combatants disperse, leaving the party alone in the room.

"An unconventional approach," Garrus notes. "But it does save us some trouble."

Permalink

"Hopefully more down the line, too."

Permalink

"Yeah. Should we continue as we were, then, or go straight to the ogre territories?"

Permalink

She hums. "As we were, I think. Ogres feel like they won't require much in the way of 'being already rested,' too, and we might want to front load the harder challenges?"
