Since arriving at Hoenn, Felix had done his best to avoid most meetings, citing them outside his lines of priorities within the organization. Help lead ANVIL's operations and maintain relations from within -- that were his responsibilities, and he kept to them, for the most part.

But, one thing led to another, and somehow, the apathetic general had found himself standing on top of the steps of Sootopolis, amongst the rest of the organization's higher brass. Situated between Elisabeth Fiorelli and jayden cross , he had originally given both of his fellow admins a look of acknowledgment (Elisabeth Fiorelli 's involving a trickle more of encouragement than anything else) before settling himself fully. As for the others, whom he shared previous conversations with -- Martín del Mar , Cillian Quinn , Remiel Calcifet , and THEO BECKETT -- he made it a point to offer them a similar nod.

A slow, dull gaze washed over the countless faces dotting the crowd. Some he recognized, like Isaac Merlo , ana fell , and BARNABY FINCH , but most remained nameless. A weakness for someone like an Admin, but he was already in the process of remedying that.

When his eyes met those of the different legendries and unknowns dotting the space above their heads, they'd narrow ever-so-slightly. Was there really a purpose for their attendance? Alas, there was no point airing out his opinions-- at worst, it'll allow this meeting to be conducted without any massive disruptions.

Different opinions began airing out, coming from both the organization's higher ups and those below, but most simply echoed out the same, repeating sentiments. Rather than taking note of those who responded to the question, Felix's attention was drawn to those who didn't (Zev Harcourt .)

Typically, he'd follow suit, preferring to use these large-scale meetings to silently take notes, then relay his own opinions on a later date. But he was an Admin now, and that title comes with the weight of expectations that go beyond listening and waiting.

Taking a deep breath, the mountainous man spoke out, his voice solid and without hesitation. "I agree with Dr. Flint (Lulu Flint ). Even if their plan goes through, there is a high possibility they'd be inviting yet another threat to the region. While we're," His eyes would've glanced up at Cillian Quinn and Martín del Mar at this moment if he could, "working to solidify Sootopolis' defenses, with the barrier still in place, it'd be difficult to fend off any attacks that come from another war. Just another thing to take note of. "

- standing besides Elisabeth Fiorelli and jayden cross
- nods at the higher ups he recognizes
- takes note of Zev Harcourt
- kinda internally grumbles about the legendries out and about
- agrees with Lulu Flint and the possibility of another war breaking out in result of the league's plans

More opinions continued to air out. Some crude and befitting an organization filled with the same violent individuals he'd come to know over his years within this business, while others took aim at the organization and their alternative solutions. It was a fair question to ask, he agreed, but it also made him wonder if an alternative plan was even possible.

Silent, he looked towards mint frost , intently giving his suggestion a ponder. It had its merits, that was for sure, but Felix had already discarded any possibility of working alongside the league during the beginning of the discussion when 10 different people echoed the same sentiment of despising the league.

"Elisabeth Fiorelli and Cillian Quinn are right." He looked both toward Rowan Wrynn and Isaac Merlo as he continued, mainly noting the points they brought up with their suggestion. "There is no reason to believe Sea Hoenn would agree to side with our universe when we have publicized plans to destroy their homes. Even if there's a possibility of gathering intel to confirm the likelihood of an alliance, on the chance we are discovered, it'd only further the backlash of the league's plans and further play into the possibility of war between our universes."

He took one final breath for continuing.

"Not to mention, even if an alliance is formed, we'd be moving under the assumption that they'll have an alternative, or that they wouldn't just betray us to ensure their own safety. As Cillian Quinn mentioned, we are the ones at risk, not them. I believe it'd be better to focus our resources on ensuring the league's plan follows through and prepare for the aftermath of it."

Both the benefits and the negatives.
