[SE] If it isn't the consequences of my own actions

Sah

From the table, Sah admired the pies as Elizabeth placed them in the oven. They looked delicious, and if it weren't a health risk (or possibly risky in angering his friend), he might have snagged one of the smaller ones to snack on, raw or not. The moment passed as she joined him at the table and began to add her own thoughts.

He nodded along, "I agree. I don't want to overly antagonize them, nor do I want Halo to appear weak." Granted, the way that they'd quickly dealt with the Tundra and the following Titan implied otherwise. But physical prowess and mental steel were vastly different. Halo would need both in the coming storm.

Sah hummed, "Negotiating, it is. It goes without saying that we can't provide something that will directly put Halo at risk." His brow furrowed, "How about we brainstorm a few things that we're comfortable with either doing or providing and then present that list to Deimos for review? From there, we offer Dahlia the choice of one." By ensuring that they were as content as could be with the options, they would also have a fallback should the Reaper go and declare that the entire list needed to be fulfilled.

I think therefore I am,
But what if all I do is bleed?
