The Mane leader flinches, then grimaces, internally cursing IBC’s overhearing.
Lead Mane: Well, yes. There are those who doubt. If we were really getting the absolution we want to end our torment, we’d have gotten it by now, correct? But, it seems Faith has no intention of keeping his end of the bargain, either because he can’t, or he won’t. Liars like him must be made examples of. And tormentors like Hope, who imprisoned our other selves for so long, should be made examples of, as well. After all, Faith did the same to us. He just promised to make everything right in exchange for our allegiance. But, since you overheard our true plans…

The Mane leader looks to the leader of the Umbrums.
Lead Mane: Take this as proof that we mean you no harm. (To IBC) Now, we can’t allow you to inform our oppressors of this meeting, or of how both of us plan on attacking our respective former ally. Let alone tell them about the possibility of an alliance between us.
He snaps his claws, and powerful ropes of shadow bind IBC, and pull him into a shadow in the ground, trapping him in the plane of shadows.
Lead Mane: (To lead Umbrum) There. Now, he’s stuck as a shadow, and those imprisoned in shadows by users of shadows can’t talk or use magic. Now, where were we? Ah, yes. We’ve just shown our willingness to defend you. Will you ally long enough just for the duration of a joint attack?
