Do stop in being such a wet blanket, will you? [ a gentle teasing, one such that would have been frequent between them before the rift was formed between them. Genesis was not acting like the delusional person he had been while he was rotting; yes, he was certainly a bit more obsessive about some things, but he was finding this information and the new ability exciting. couldn't Sephiroth find it as being exciting as well? ]

Haven't you been paying attention? As Heroes of Light, we are suppose to have some effect on the world, yes? Of course, to the natives we are suppose to protect and guard and save them, but what use would that be if we have no idea what we are looking for? Against just the Empire? Are we so sure that all of them are after the whole world, or is it a few people in power? Remember that those in power have it easy in telling people why it is necessary to attack when it is not always the case.

[ a gentle reminder of Wutai, of a kingdom that was not as much as a threat as they were told, but something they did not know until after the war. ]

We don't know what either side wants from us, though I am inclined to trust our hosts for being hosts. Outside of that, well... that is something I hope the older books may have clues towards.
