"...Oh? If you're willing to say, of course."

"Dream was the first to draw his weapon, and the first to attack with lethal intent. ...I am willing to justify any harm I did to Dream, but I would have to justify it."

...Nod. "Fair enough."

"Though it would be worthwhile to keep in mind that Dream may bring that to the negotiating table."

"Yeah. Yeah, it's, it's good that you told me, for sure."

"Is there anything else we need to get ready for tomorrow?"

"I don't think so? I'll probably brew some potions, in case we need them."

"That sounds worthwhile. Do you have all the material?" On the one hand, he would very much like to go find Ghostbur, if he can. On the other, he's not sure he should go that far afield from L'Manberg (especially with his shoulder and chest increasingly making their Presence and Distress known.)  

"I think so? And I can always take stuff from Purpled."

"That's good."

"Yeah."

"I should let you get to it."

"Bye!" And Tubbo heads off.

Jingyan makes an Attempt To Be Productive.

...He needs more diamonds. That would be productive, and help the war effort. And mining requires paying attention, but it's not that difficult.

...he did technically manage to make something resembling a profit in diamonds, though it is not much of a profit. It's night now, anyone, he should sleep.

The scar had been annoying and twinge-y during the day, but mostly ignorable. However, when lying down in bed, trying to fall asleep, it is much less ignorable. It does not even hurt that much, just a dull ache, but it enough of a dull ache to keep him awake.

After an hour of failing to fall asleep, he gets up. He would rather not use up something consumable, especially for something so minor, but also he has no intention to face Dream on no sleep. He starts looking through the chests in public areas in case there are regen potions there.

It takes a while but, yeah, here's one.

He leaves his one diamond profit in the space the regen potion was, as an apology for taking something from whoever left it here (and also because he has no idea what the value of a regen potion is), and sculls it.

The pain recedes! Such is the magic of regeneration potions.

That is very convenient. ...and he is going to take advantage of this by going to sleep.

Then morning will come.

Tubbo's nibbling on pufferfish and pacing. He waves to Jingyan when he sees him.

He heads over. He would be concerned about going into the meeting with Dream impaired, but it's not like he isn't himself a bit impaired, so. "Are you ready?"

"I mean. As ready as I'm gonna be, I think. --I should gather the cabinet. Meet in the camarvan?"

(The camarvan is a helpfully labeled gray rectangular building.)

"That's as much as we can expect." He can go into the camarvan.

And soon he will be joined by Tubbo, Quackity, Fundy, and Ranboo. 

“Alright. We’re meeting with Dream and Tommy in the community house. Do we have an actual plan or are we just… declaring war if he doesn’t give Tommy back.”

"I would want a plan for the war before we think about declaring it-- which isn't to say I would be against declaring war if he does not give Tommy back."
