Snaps his fingers and points at Peridot, well said! Then as Tyki offers his apology, Shima takes a moment to turn over Ignatius' words, and what it was the Ringmaster wanted to accomplish. She'd wanted him understand there's more to this. To meet others eventually.
Shima flaps his hand a little, sure that the last thing Ignatius cares about is trying to adjust. "Not that making sure ya didn't bite it was some accident, trauma or no. Ya seem like a 'better ta die' sort, so ya might not appreciate the reasons much, but hey, maybe ya being here will still indirectly benefit the Summer Court too, even if you're stuck."
He crouches, looking directly at Ignatius now, "Fear 'n instability.. the Carnival's feeling that too. Especially seeing as we're the preferred target." He tastes the 'we' there a little, and it doesn't quite come naturally, but he continues on, shifting into a hypothetical, "But so, the Courts hunt the Carnival down and take the Blue Rose," waves a hand, "find all the Miracles... Now their only targets are each other and they're thinking there's a means ta win. I don't know if that sounds like the stability the Courts are looking for?"
He stands again, wandering a little as if in thought. "Pointing out the Winter Queen's untrustworthiness... Really, it's a shame the Courts aren't too hot on ah... I think it's called truth 'n reconciliation? Whatever we represent, whatever the Ringmaster might be responsible for, if ya still care about the Summer Courts, ya might consider that what's going on here instead is the best option for making something good happen.
"Like she said, the Ringmaster isn't looking ta keep fighting. We want stability just as much, maybe more since we got some determined enemies that want us dead if we can't achieve it."
