Once again, Ticoga offers a bow to Emperor Mint, this time due to his appreciation.
"I will do exactly so, sir." Ticoga says, resisting the urge to say Majesty. "I intend to complete my mission to search out and destroy the Red Dawn Pirate's leadership."
Ticoga straightens.
"I have gathered enough details to know that I cannot destroy the organization as a whole - at least not yet." he admits, though grudgingly. "What I can do is find out who the upper ten leaders are, and exterminate them. That will throw the organization into disorganized disarray. Hopefully in doing so, the less qualified individuals will begin fighting, and split the organization into more manageable pieces."
That was the best case scenario, he was beginning to understand. Ticoga clasps his hands behind his back.
"I plan to begin a more rigid training method, so hopefully the next time we meet I will be more capable." Ticoga tells Mint. "Eventually, I would like another chance to train with you directly, but only once I am certain that doing so could be mutually beneficial. I have quite some catching up to do before then, I presume."
With that said, Ticoga smiles friendlily at Mint.
"Is there anything further you would request of me, sir?" Ticoga queries. "Or shall we get on our way?"
Mint nodded, Ticoga did need to deal with the Red Dawn Pirates first. They had been a trouble for a long time. Hopefully, a trouble would get dealt with. They didn't need to be over their heads while they were also potentially dealing with Brumal's betrayal or whatever he was doing. His plan was to try to find the main leaders of this organization, kill them off and allow the corpse of the Red Dawn Pirates to decay on its own time. It sounded like a good plan to him.
Ticoga also said after that was done he was going to work on getting stronger. Hopefully finding some way to train more effectively. "That would be wise, you need to always update your training styles. I need to do that as well I must admit. And yes a training session between the two of us would be good. But you still have to get stronger. I want to have a real spar. Something that is going to test me to my very limit." Mint had not gotten a lot stronger in the past few months. He didn't have much reason to. He needed to keep Arcose strong. No time to be training.
Ticoga then asked if there was anything else he needed. Mint would shake his head. "No, I don't think there is anything else. We had to talk about everything we need to discuss. I believe we will have to meet again when you're done with your work and ready for that spar. I have a few more places I plan to visit on Earth. I'll go towards Derry to meet with him. Then I have no other reason to stay." Mint would begin to float and then rocket away leaving Ticoga to his own devices.

Ticoga smiles and offers the Emperor a courteous bow.
"I look forward to the opportunity, sir." Ticoga replies. He stands at attention as Emperor Mint turns away, offering parting words before flying fast and away. Ticoga waits a few moments, watching the Emperor go, and once he leaves sight, Ticoga turns and begins pacing.
What he had reported had not been received as he expected. Emperor Mint took the information as absolute proof that Emperor Brumal was plotting against him personally. But was that the case? Mint began as a criminal and rose to power under Azoth's rule.
Perhaps it was time for Ticoga to stop being prudish. To serve the Triumvirate was an honor - and to be raised from a Lieutenant to the Shield of Arcose, a position Ticoga was sure that Ise and Brumal would have to agree upon before it was made official. Ticoga realized that he knew next to nothing about any of the three of the Triumvirate. But that was about to change.
The crimson skinned Arcosian starts walking towards the city he knew to be several miles away. He could fly, but he needed time to think. Nothing could be done in half measures.
