[well that was fun.
by the time that everyone clears out of their meeting hall, either with their questions answered or only further bothered, the fact of the matter is that they've done their job.
lune will turn to sol - and place a hand on his shoulder]
You did well, considering the difficulty of the task.
[sure there were hiccups, but he's gotta acknowledge that they were stuck in a pretty bad spot??]
Are you feeling alright?
[he uhhhh nearly got into a fight with one of lune's own comrades so]

[That sure was a lot. That was bad. Sol hears Lune, but his head is bowed and he doesn't reply immediately.]
...they asked a lot of questions we didn't have answers to. Do you think they'll trust us after this?
[He'll talk about the Kara thing in a second, there's something else bothering him.]

Hmmm....
[a thoughtful hum at that, coupled with a tilt of his head]
I do not place much stock into words to begin with - there will be some who would be distrustful of our answers regardless, no matter how truthful we are. We gave all that we know at the moment, which is at the very least more than the two of us were given when we first arrived.
If it's bothering you, we may seek more answers for them, and try to earn their trust back if we truly have lost it.
[forward movement! but there is a gentle smile in his voice]
It is a situation that I can only call entirely new. No moment like this has ever existed in history before - it would naturally be difficult to explain.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to tell them. Some of them got it, but others didn't even seem to hear me. [Which is frustrating. He looks up finally, nodding at that idea.]
We should. I know some of them will come back for more questions...Shess, for one. Emma too.
[He studied names, it's fine. He folds his arms over his chest then.]
...that one who tried to light me on fire...he's one of yours, isn't he?

Mm. Fujino, Four, and some others expressed a wish for additional answers. Let's not let them down - shall we? We may continue investigating the instability tonight, if you wish.
[just a thought!
though at the mention of kuri
he's just going to laugh]
Ah... When you begin like that, it makes it difficult for me to say yes. However, you are correct - he and Tsurumaru are both my comrades. Though...
[he seems thoughtful for a moment]
Mmm. At least they are very much themselves. I apologize for the trouble. You are unharmed, yes?

[There's an eager sort of nod.] Reconnaissance would be useful before tomorrow. And if we can get some more answers and how to explain everything to them, we can work together faster.
[He folds his arms over his chest and hunches down a bit, pouting in reply.] I'm fine. I could have stopped him if he actually tried, but the sword might have needed an extra boost. [Still...]
...I had to lie to a lot of my friends today. Do you think yours knew who you were?

Mm, then let us return for the evening. We can search to see if there was anything we could have missed - or if there will be a nice surprise.
[it's not going to be nice
but at the question, lune laughs]
Ookurikara will not associate with anyone until he has to, and I am no exception.
As for Tsurumaru... I cannot say for certain but - perhaps I simply wish to surprise him?
[why is lune this way]

[There's a nod...and yeah, he holds opens his hand to open a portal for them to return. Time to bounce.]
He's annoying. [Thanks Sol. But there's a pause about Tsurumaru and he openly stares at Lune for a moment.]
Kind of a lame surprise, Lune. [He doesn't mean those words given there's still a layer of fondness there. He wonders about how these three people connect, but he won't ask. He'll give him some privacy for now.] He seems okay though.
Most of them do, actually. [...] I don't get why they were all picked out of everyone across the worlds. Is that something we can ask, too?

[all of this is making lune laugh????]
I will try to intercept before you must deal with him again - and Tsurumaru enjoys all manner of surprises.
[even lame ones]
We can see - and perhaps we will find an answer. A combination of darkness and light... while it is true that is most people, I believe that finding others who are closer to balance to be more difficult.
[gray morality is common but what shade of gray is it?]
Does it feel odd, seeing your friends here?

...thanks. [The less he deals with Kara, the better. That's unfortunate. He keeps that in mind regarding Tsuru though since that's interesting to him.]
It just means this combination of people is special. Even if we--and they--don't realize it yet. [That sounds familiar.] They're going to keep asking, and I don't know what to tell them.
[But he pauses.] ...two of them are my best friends. A lot of things happened recently, but I don't know if they all know that. None of them were supposed to be here.

That's why we said yes, isn't it? [Despite all of the issues here, he seems to grasp that they need to complete the task given and doesn't mind helping overall. Is it frustrating that they're still getting answers bit by bit? Yes, but that's also not unusual for him.
Lune being who Lune is also helps though. He can appreciate that Lune's as knowledgeable and helpful to him as possible.] It looks like these are the only ones who are going to show up, too. They brought up a lot of good points. What should we try to get clarification on first?
[What will the universe grant them, what kind of information can they find? He likes keeping busy instead of moping about his friends, it's fine.]

[well, it's not as if lune disagrees. it's important to keep moving forward. so as they return to the other version of the village, the one that holds even their living spaces, there's a thoughtful hum
except it would appear that the universe has greater things in mind. in the main hall that they step out in, there appear to be a number of scrolls laid out on a table.]
Hm! Perhaps we ought to see what we have been gifted with.
Could it be that the universe finally heard us?

About time. [And yeah, Sol isn't even waiting as he zips forward to bound right up to the scrolls. He's also picking one up. It's definitely the one for the Comets and he pauses with the scroll in his hand.]
...what? [That's. Bad. This is bad? He turns and hands that one to Lune before picking up another one, this time for someone known as the Nova.]
Did you know about this?

Did you know about this?
[hello sol.
lune will be ambling over in their usual grandfatherly pace, then sitting down beside them and materializing two ice creams out of thin air, offering one to sol.]
Have I done it correctly?
[lune is like.
trying.]

[It's only Thursday and this week has been a Lot. Sol usually squirrels themselves away when they aren't meeting with people, but they usually linger in spaces that Lune can find them during the mornings and evenings. They had initially thought it was just for Lune's benefit, but...
Well, it's like they had told Naminé.
"Sometimes it can be nice to feel like people will take care of you like that. Even if it means they treat you like a kid."
As such, Lune wanders over and Sol looks up from where they've tucked themselves away, knees pulled to their chest and staring ahead. When the ice creams appear though, there's a light laugh as they take it.]
You're getting better. What flavor is this?

Green tea - when I was invited to the library, I thought to look into other possible combinations. Perhaps this shall be the best indicator of our bond?
[TEA AND ICE CREAM.
regardless, lune will sit neatly next to sol and keep their gaze locked on him, canting their head to the side as if to try to peer into his expression]
What is on your mind?

[Sol is...going to shove a bite of ice cream into their mouth, a hum of approval because this is a strange but new flavor.]
It's good. [They seem pleased. It also gives them a moment to stall on the question.] ...have you been talking to more people lately? They seem more receptive to calling for us now.

Of course you are. [Very Lune. But there's a nod. ] Naminé's great. [They sound find suddenly. ] She's never had very many friends before, so I thought maybe we could be friends here. She's really nice.
...I want to keep her safe. Just like the others. [But. Oh. They seem to remember something. ] I told her she should meet you, too.
