So this woman had a solution, did she? The other woman, Donna, had had quite a bit of advice for him. It was... still all very difficult to sort through, to be honest, and he needed more time to think on it, but the other woman, the one who spoke so much of love, had offered her own solution. And yet... something told him that this wasn't exactly the best of ideas. But what other option did he have?

As he approached the designated meeting spot, he could only curse that this option had him face-to-face with Laharl.

Not that that was a bad thing, of course. He did want to see his son, but he had yet to figure out what he was going to say! And he had to wonder just how the woman had brought Laharl here in the first place. Had... could he have agreed to come, too? Hm... No, that almost didn't seem like him.

Ah... how he wanted to leave the area. It would only be a temporary retreat, of course, only long enough to gather his thoughts and return. It would be simple, would it not? Laharl obviously hadn't noticed him yet. He could be gone in an instant with none-the-wiser. And yet...

And yet he was there now and the easy option suddenly didn't seem that easy. Even if it almost made the hard option even harder.
