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?
[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?
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?]
...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.
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.]

[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]

Does it feel odd, seeing your friends here?

no subject
there's a few things to cover here but lune sees it most important to cover this part in particular:]
Does it pain you to see them again?
no subject
We were together at home. All of us. [...] Maybe pain isn't the right word, but they don't need this.
no subject
I could say the same for you, young one.
But one way or another, we were the ones chosen, weren't we? So perhaps while we might not need it, we are needed by something else entirely.
no subject

no subject
...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?
no subject
I did not.
[and while their voice remains even, it sounds more somber than before]
I see...
Perhaps this will be more difficult than anticipated.
no subject
Great. [This is frustrating.] They're gonna really love this. [Once all of the scrolls are read he pauses again.]
Looks like we have even more choices to make then.
