Tsuru let out a hearty, genuine laugh for the first time in a long time. A very long time.

"On that, we both agree," he said amicably. "But do not think your feelings are so easy to hide. You are not the first person I have known to be enamored with another," he said, recalling Maigo and Ume. "Life can be all too short, especially in these troubled times. You should tell her how you feel."

"I am a Knight, my life is only to protect her and do as she says." Keldo said "To act on my own desires is not a luxury I can allow."

"Those sound to my ears like the old rules of another kingdom," Tsuru said knowingly. "You have cast off oppressive shackles once, for the good of others, yet you will not do the same for yourself? That is quite the dichotomy," Tsuru said with a grin.

"I may not like what they do, But I do honor the old ways." He said "I wish that we still lived in the Golden Age, before we knew of humans, Before the worlds began to die..In those time the Court was a truly grand and wonderful place...Now it is less than a shadow."

Tsuru sighed at Keldeo's peculiar sensibilities. "Perhaps I should tell your Maiden of your feelings for her then," he said with a playful, teasing grin.

"In any event, you hold this Golden Age in such high regard...how much has truly changed? It is not as though there is an army of humans at your gate with pitchforks and torches, keeping you besieged."

"The Court lives in fear now...The King and his loyalist paint you humans as monsters, Enslaving and killing the lesser pokemon of this world. Pokemon that are less intelligent than those who live in the Court."

"They style you as vile things kept at bay only by the King's wards, the Noble's who fight and sly humans are hailed as heroes risking their lives to ensure that you will never threaten the Court."

Keldo folded his arms "And of course there is the state of the Court itself, It is diminished less then eighty thousand where once there were more than a million. In this new age the Nobles abuse their power, I have seen the same thing among humans, Those with power treat the lower class as toys and tools."

"How can the numbers of your court have become so diminished? Surely we humans have not slain over nine hundred thousand of your number? Scant few of you Nobles have come to this world as it stands," he asked.

"As to your King's rumors...it is amusing to think of how little your kind truly risk from most humans...," he said as he tried to think of ways to utilize the fear that the 'King' had sown...though such propaganda would require him finding some way to this court to deliver such a message.

"Though I should not be surprised that your King uses the worst of us to color us all. Meanwhile we keep your existance a secret, at the behest of your Queen. I wonder if it is truly to protect the smallfolk from panic, as she proclaims, or to protect your kind from the fear and ire of mankind, were they to learn the truth," he mused. "Or perhaps it is both."

"I must admit, I am surprised you did not seek out others of your kind in rebellion on this world," Tsuru said. "Your Queen...He Who Gives Life...the Lord of Nightmares...I am sure there are others beside. Why not make contact and common cause with them?"

"As I have said countless worlds have died, with so many gone we lost many important resources. Many could not survive without things from some of those worlds." Keldo said.

"And it is not our place to speculate on the motivations of those above as." He said "As for why we have not contacted the other. It is because we have different goals, The Queen seeks to fight with the King. We seek only to survive."

"But surely you must realize that the two goals are linked with one another," Tsuru said. "If the King were to be defeated, your survival would be all but assured."

"Yes but we do not fight, We seek to find ways to solve this without bloodshed on either side." Keldo said.

"There has been enough pain for everyone, We want to minimize it."
