Why is pilika

[Poet]

brought for greenhill mission? What's the logic of it..bringing defenceless kid for a rescue mission.

[sticky-runes]

Because she was of school age. And perhaps Shu suspected Jowy was the one who took Greenhill, so maybe Shu was using Pilika as a tool even then.

[suiko2fan2]

For the same reason Shu, had Flik and Viktor take her to a peace treaty. He knows Jowy's weakness: the girl. So pretty much along the lines of what Sticky was referring about Pilika being Shu's tool.

[sticky-runes]

Come to think of it, wasn't it Fitcher's idea to send only kids along in the first place? The only person who actually protested sending Pilika was Flik because he didn't like the idea of being surrounded by snotty nosed brats. Maybe they just didn't think it would be such a big problem sending her along, since Pilika had already traveled with Riou and Nanami.

[Poet]

Well,pilika was the reason why the group was almost captured.Muse treaty was different.A rescue mission had to be secretive,pilika is like baggage.

[BrucePrintscreen]

No one would suspect a group of spies with such a young child, so it's actually a good idea.

i dont think shu even knows who jowy is at this point, so i doubt its for the same reason as the muse treaty one

[knight85]

it could also be because of the fact that shu and flitcher knew that the greenhill mission would take several days and they didnt want the kid hanging around the castle on her own while the hero and nanami were gone.

but yeah the chances are that shu knew jowy was solon jhee's replacement and he wanted nanami along as an insurance policy
