Ticoga seemed willing to move past the debate and while she was fairly certain she had not quite brought him over fully and knew he had not done so for her Ise was willing to let that subject drop for the moment, it was no real concern at the moment and was something that they could speak on again at a later date, at a time when they would perhaps know each other more and she could better convince him of her mindset.
Instead he returned to the situation with his hunt for the pirates, and pleasantly it seemed he had more of a plan in mind for this hunt than simply hoping to happen upon them, in addition to having Kabe as a possible resource he already had intentions of contacting Plant and Earth both for that and for other benefits to the Empire.
Now that Plant was actually under a single rule it would perhaps be possible to actually do some dealing with the once eternally at war planet. “Excellent, Father often lamented that the war on Plant made it so difficult to make any agreements to share military projects between either side and the Empire. I am more than willing to let you act in the name of the Empire for this purpose, if anything of particular interest or concern arises feel free to contact me as needed. My name should also do quite well to help expedite gaining a meeting with Taori and President Ottery in particular, I knew both before the Triumverate took power even if the Empire has kept me too busy to contact them recently.” Though from what she understood Taori had not been seen since the end of the first round, rather concerning.
Ise smirked as Ticoga seemed to carefully navigate, informing her that his efforts to destroy the pirates might be rather thorough “I think you will find I have a high bar for what may be considered ‘excessive’ regarding the destruction of the Empire’s enemies, I think I can already feel a good degree of trust in your judgment. This situation should prove as a good way for me to gauge things.”
“Once this tournament is won I will be returning to Arcose to reconvene with Mint and attend to things for a time, I will be able to begin working with you at that time but our real training will begin shortly thereafter once I have had the chance to contact a few others that may be joining us.” Ise grinned to herself at the thought, she had a few people in mind though even if it was just Ticoga alone it would work well enough.
