This is considerably less awe and admiration than Owain had hoped to garner from his announcement. Not even one startled gasp, seriously?
Ah well, if there are this many of them who are accustomed to being in the presence of royalty, he supposes it can't be helped. Besides, they've already gotten used to him being a descendant of the Hero-King, and that's even more impressive, so perhaps he can understand how it wouldn't be that big of a deal. So instead of dwelling on it, Owain cups his chin in his hand and nods sagely at everyone's various suggestions... especially Gil's, which earns the boy a wide grin that practically shouts 'challenge accepted'.
When Orcelito finishes outlining his plan, Owain speaks up. "Indeed, with a force as small as ours, our best hope lies in the piercing power of persuasion," he says with all seriousness. "...BUT TAKE HEED! Approaching the queen is no simple task!"
Never mind that several people managed to do so the first time around. Owain is not one of those people.
"Her loyal soldiers are many and mighty! An army may well stand between us and our goal... an army that can spit venom pretty far, so definitely watch out for that."
