[That seems to cool her down. Just the teeniest bit. Though... it does nothing to stop her from gritting her teeth, clenching her fists like she's ready to punch someone out.]
That's... [jesus?????] What the hell is wrong with the universe? Does it think this is a fucking joke?!
[He shrugs because, like, he's two, North. He absolutely doesn't know. He's still holding his cat and it's hard to say where he's actually looking since he has the hood up, but he seems to be facing her.]
We were asked to be guides to help find an answer. That answer is finding one person to control the path of the universe. In a way...we're doing our jobs and that's all there is to it. [...] Being able to die doesn't mean that we will.
Doesn't it? I don't believe that no one would go after you if the option to do so is right there. [She's? So angry for them? What the fuck.] What's even the point of making the two of you vulnerable? What the hell does the universe gain from it?
...pretty sure most of the people who would kill us are already dead. Hisoka apparently wants to fight me and maybe kill us. [So there's that.] But I don't...I'm not sure. This has been happening for a few weeks now though. Those memories...and the tattoo now, and those recorders, too. Lune and I are supposed to be separated from all of this but now we're not.
I want to do a task for you. As a precaution. [Or so she hopes. They haven't dipped below ten yet, but they might by Saturday...] I need something that'll allow me to stay up after curfew.
North. [The cat meows, and Sol hushes it.] ...you know that if someone comes after us and you're awake, there's a good chance they'll go after you, too.
[He's rather not put her in danger. I hate that he likes this angry roomba a lot.]
You think I don't know that? They could come after me regardless of what I decide to do that night, so save your breath if you're going to ask me not to do it. I'm not letting you guys die so easily.
I don't plan on dying that easily. This isn't the first time someone's wanted me out of the picture. [She has a point, but he's pretty sure he can just fight everyone. Still, there's a pause.]
...if it comes down to it and someone targets both of us at the same time, I want you to protect Lune.
And what about everyone else? [He's just trying to understand here, even if he's not saying no. He means, what about everyone else who could use the protection?]
Okay maybe not all of them. But like...I figured you'd want to protect one of the others, at least. [...wait does North even have anyone on the living side she likes enough to do that for?]
[There's a huff.] Fine. One task, one talisman. But don't get mad if it's not an easy task. [He assesses her for a moment...]
Express your gratitude and compliment three people whom you do not have a very close relationship with. And you've gotta be sincere about it, you can't just say you like someone because they aren't annoying. There are still enough of you left that you should know everyone, but still not be best friends with them.
--wait what did Axel say? [HEY!!! But he lets his cat crawl up to his shoulder and folds his arms over his chest.] Lune and I can't count, first of all. Or people like Emma that you've covered for in the past or you've shared really important things with.
[Wednesday is purring in his ear and he doesn't even mind.] ...seriously? [What a butthead.] Whatever, don't listen to him about that.
I can't tell you who would count, but just those who wouldn't. From there, you can kind of figure who would work best for you. [Though yeah, probably.]

I have a lot of people I need to keep safe. Axel, Xion and Naminé are the most important people that I have, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep them alive for as long as I can. [...] I think I can give you a task. But on one condition.
no subject
[Let her protect you, you shitty gremlin child. The fact there's a condition makes her tense up, but she nods anyway.]
What is it?
no subject
...if it comes down to it and someone targets both of us at the same time, I want you to protect Lune.

That won't be a problem if you both stick together.

And then, barely under her breath:]
Lea is such a liar.
["Sol's tasks are easier." SURE THING, LEESABELLA.]
Fine. Who do you consider to be "close" to me?
[She doesn't feel particularly close to anyone, but she might as well clarify...?]

[It's fine? It's fine. She crosses her arms, watching the cat crawl up to his shoulder. Also-- hilariously mirrors him without realizing.]
So... Milla and Ookurikara would count, right? What about Lea himself? Or is using him for another task a nonstarter?
no subject
I can't tell you who would count, but just those who wouldn't. From there, you can kind of figure who would work best for you. [Though yeah, probably.]
no subject
[Time to gently yeet herself at those two to start, though. This is fine.]
I assume the dead don't count, either.
