A glimmer of hope - private guidance

"Ta, kao. Takao."

Morgan repeated the name as if he were attempting to grasp it in his paws, staring at the air in front of him.

"And this thing's made you hurt others?"

He sighed in worry, though a slight hint of relief washed over him. At the very least Usagi seemed to know what she was talking about, even if only with what little information she had supplied him with.

"If you need to travel to find your sibling, then I won't try to stop you when you leave. Just know this: when you're alone out there, these battles with Takao might be even tougher than they already are."

The General wished he had something better to say, and as if by magic, he found some inspiration.

"You can't forget who you are. You've got your own strength, and you can figure out how to deal with this threat."

He pulled some water from the nearby sea, freezing it to encase the pair in a cage of ice.

"See these walls around us?"

Morgan closed his eyes, then began to breathe more steadily.

"If you can at least tell when Takao is about to surface, the best thing to do might be to find somewhere safe to put yourself - somewhere like this. If you're able to do that, it'll be that much harder for Takao to hurt anyone else. Understand?"

It was as good of an idea as any, and even taking small steps to contain the beast would hopefully prove to be useful to Usagi.

"Oh, and where are you thinking of looking for this sibling, anyway?"
