Meanwhile, Gregor had caught up to Charlotte.

: "Hey, can we talk for a minute? About that fortune teller thing?"

: "This is kind of a poor time, but I suppose so. Did you have something to say?"

[Sirus]

: "This is kind of a poor time, but I suppose so. Did you have something to say?"

: "I know, and I'm sorry, but we didn't have a chance before with everything that happened. I was just wondering what your take on it was. You seemed...well, you seemed kind of down."

[freeformschooler]

: "I know, and I'm sorry, but we didn't have a chance before with everything that happened. I was just wondering what your take on it was. You seemed...well, you seemed kind of down."

: "Well, I'm not one to believe in silly fortunes, but the teller herself seemed surprised. What if it is true? What if we really are going to die young and suddenly? That would be awful. Sure, we're mercenaries, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy long, healthy lives after we retire."

[Sirus]

: "Well, I'm not one to believe in silly fortunes, but the teller herself seemed surprised. What if it is true? What if we really are going to die young and suddenly? That would be awful. Sure, we're mercenaries, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy long, healthy lives after we retire."

: "Honestly Charlotte, I don't really believe in fortune tellers either. I mean, did you hear the fortune Ami got? A throne made of darkness and jewels? Crazy talk.
"But listen! I have no intention of dying young, and I don't want you to die either. Working together, we can prove the fortune wrong...or at least, that part of it."

He chuckled.

: "You want to hear something strange?"

[freeformschooler]

: "Sure. What is it?"

[Sirus]

: "Well, maybe 'strange' is too strong a word, but...When you said that you quit, I half expected you to march into Prixima's office right then and declare your resignation. I wouldn't have blamed you, to be honest.

Here's where it gets weird: I realized that if you quit, I probably would have as well. Even if it meant desertion! That sort of thought had never crossed my mind before, but I realized that being a mercenary with you and some friends would make me happier than just being another soldier...especially if I had to keep working for Prixima."

He paused.

: "I'm not sure if I made any sense or not..."

[freeformschooler]

: "You know, I intended to do that. I got cold feet, though. Prixima is terrifying! And maybe, JUST MAYBE, we'll have the chance to do more good than bad this time around. I realize we could have just snuck into the temple and snatched the stone while the temple guards were focusing on the Berebians, but maybe helping people and saving innocent lives is more important."

Charlotte looked at the ground.

: "I wonder: is there any work in the world for a moral mercenary group? A group that only tracks down and confronts those who are corrupt and greedy. Steal from the rich and give to the poor, if you will. Perhaps that's why the name 'Charlotte's Angels' hit me."

She then look back up, turned to Gregor on the spot and, surprisingly, grabbed hold of his hand.

: "In the end, though, it doesn't matter to me what a fortune teller says or how pure and ethical our group is. The important thing is we enjoy the time we have together now and cherish the moments that are good, even when things are looking bad. As long as we have those moments, everything else will work out."

[Sirus]

Gregor gently squeezed Charlotte's hand.

: "I don't know the answer to your question. But we can certainly give it a shot, right?"

He smiled.

: "I think this is one moment I'll cherish for a long time."

[Furtuka]

Move to 14, 9

[Haspen]

Some more movement.

~~Enemy Turn!~~

The enemies (most, but not all) moved around as well.

~~Ally Turn!~~

The temple guards don't move an inch.

Then...

"Sir Morko, our soldiers are slowly entering the district, but..."

"What is it, Lieutenant?"

"It looks like some armed citizens are moving toward us."

"Hmph, kill them off so they learn their mistake."

"Yes, sir- Sir Morko! South!"

"What? Where?" The shaman in charge raised his gloved right hand to his forehead to see better and protect the eyes from sunlight.

"Oh for Dragon's sake, City Guard, here, already?..."

"Isn't it our dear friends Berebians? And Leon kept saying this day was going to be boring!"

"Allright men, let's bash some Berebian heads in. Maybe that will be enough to send them running!"
