"…but rather, we lay the blame entirely at the feet of the arakai, and specifically the War Faction," the S'rrigin continued. "It would be unreasonable to hold you, the leader of an entirely different species and civilization, responsible for the crimes of the arakai."
Rui heaved a sigh of relief. He was glad that the aquadites were reasonable. He was afraid that they would try to use this to demand reparations. In particular, he half-expected them to demand that he surrender the method to avoiding the price of the Transcendent Realm.
"I'm glad to hear that, Your Majesty," Rui smiled at the leader of the aquadites. "Indeed, the War Faction of Arakai Web Civilization is the source of much of our immediate misery, one way or another. That is the purpose of this meeting."
