Wouldn't you like to use more than words?
The last thing you recall is likely your own death. Whether it was fast or slow, it's over now. And you're... where are you?
One moment, you were among the living. The next - you may be one of the unfortunate ones who actually died. In which case, you've found yourself flowing in the lazy rivers of the river Styx, unfathomably deep underground. Just for a moment, mind you. It's not long before your consciousness is yanked from the waters by some scary monsters, shoved into a healed body, and pushed through a portal.
Or, maybe you were caught red-handed and sentenced to your doom. But, instead of a proper death, you were whisked down into the Veins of Tartarus. And there's really only one place that could lead to... Or is it?
You've been tossed down here by the will of the Titan, but what you find is A helping hand swooping you up - possibly literally, and potentially out of the grasp of the Titan himself.
Not a moment after, you're whisked through another rift, this one a shimmering gold. Into a realm of slightly more stable platforms and a lot more shit to look through. The area is practically littered with the ill-gotten goods of a thieving God (who is happy to note via pop-up illusion that you are touching his stuff). Here, however, you are safe; assured that Typhon cannot find or hurt you here.
For the moment, you can breathe before the next part comes.

…I SHOULD MAKE PREPARATIONS FOR BATTLE.

[He's still closely watching everyone on the living side (or well. just someone in particular. you know how it goes.) but his mismatched eyes flick over to Ferdinand and Omega for a brief moment.]
I have no qualms fighting if that's what we choose to do, but running should likely remain our first option - assuming there's somewhere else to run to.
no subject
[Which might be surprising, considering what got Ferdinand here]
Only if we're against the wall.
no subject
Precisely. We should have some time to prepare, should we hear him coming. We can determine our course of action then.

I HAVE WOUNDED HIM. HE IS NOT INVINCIBLE.

[he's shaking with fury still at seeing Quark and Aoi, their least combat capable members, butchered. It stabs his sense of honor.]

[It's not meant to be a pointed remark; he knows several people who would have done the same thing as Omega and Ferdinand, and frankly, he's of the opinion that at least they tried. But this might come off sounding kind of backhanded anyway. Whoops.]
Ferdinand is right, though, we don't have quite the same level of power here. We don't have nearly as many combat-capable people either... We'd best hope he didn't heal that injury if we do have to fight him.

[Rich coming from him, he knows, but the point still stands.]
Should we fail to kill him, it seems he would consume us - our souls, or whatever it is that is left of us. My assumption is that this would serve to grant him greater power, and while that may not be accurate, is that really a risk we can take? Not only would it ensure we couldn't return to the others, it could also make him more difficult for them to take down.

I don't think Ferdinand would want you to leave him behind.
[Maybe it's projection. But that's really all he has when it comes to understanding others' emotions.]
