"Yes, I do have one more question about regalias," Zora said realising by the man's very direct question that somehow they had gotten off track from her original purpose, "Can they, the regalias, refuse to help people out or refuse to bond with a person?" Zora wanted to know.

Zora just nodded at this as she gazed at the shopkeeper thoughtfully, "Just curious really..." she admitted, "So they can refuse to help a challenger because they basically do not like you?" she asked very directly.

"I see..." Zora remarked evenly as she looked at Ithai calmly, "But doesn't that put those contestants at a clear disadvantage compared to other contestants who get along with their regalias?" she pointed out calmly, in a reasonable tone, "Shouldn't regalias be above all that? Put their differences aside for the good of the game?"

"I get that," Zora said, "But if a regalia takes an instant disliking to a contestant, and refuses to help them then it doesn't matter how much the contestant tries to appease or work with the regalia, does it?" she pointed out the slightly flawed logic.

"If a regalia holds grudges, or is immature and refuses to give their partner a chance, then that person is effectively at a clear disadvantage to someone who's regalia is forgiving and kind no matter what," she said as looked at Ithai patiently very used to arguing two sides of a coin.

"Oh, this is just a hypothetical situation. I actually get along with my regalias, even the one who didn't suit me that well. We respected each other. That wasn't the reason I was asking." she stated truthfully.

"I just thought regalias were a little less human if you know what I mean?" Zora said
