[thank god for that fated moment of eye contact because Diana Understands, she understands completely!! Even if she also let herself get swept up in these schemes that doesn't mean she'll just go along with all of this, especially since Emil is shrieking loudly. She won't let Emil be forced into these!! irresponsible schemes!! so, in a clear voice to fill up that abrupt silence--]

I agree. [She gently pries a hand off her as she moves to Emil, positioning herself so that she's in between him and the bags of stink bombs...] Subterfuge is a feasible option, but if your intention is to improve your circumstances, then these schemes will only hurt your cause.

[also how will it help y'all!!!]

The best way would be... [uhhh, Diana flashbacks to her long repertoire of Amazon history to help her out.] To confront them head-on! How are duels of honor settled in this world? Now that is something the both of us would be happy to help with.

[She smiles at Emil! She's... HELPING!!]
