[welcome to the kitchen, north!
lune is there, as if that's common as anything, despite the fact that they and sol are rather impossible to find on a regular basis. they seem to be looking through the cabinets, trying to find something...?
when north approaches, lune will pause and glance over their shoulder - face still obscured underneath the hood but voice still light]
I believe the best discussions are initiated over a cup of tea.
Would you agree?

[Hm.
This is nice and all, but North's staring back at Lune with the face of someone who has never touched a cup of tea in her life and never will. For obvious reasons.]
... How much do you know about us?
[SLOWLY. Almost like a non-sequitur, but. Not quite.]

[Truthfully North kind of makes them wary, but the request comes and they know saying no isn't their style. To repair damages, it's best to try and clarify things.
It's why they wait near the river for North by the sakura tree, looking up and quietly waiting for her to approach]

I'm not the drinking type.
[Which... explains absolutely nothing, if they're as clueless as they say. Still, she frowns, staring at them like she's trying to gauge something that just isn't visible thanks to the cloak.]
But I have to say, I'm surprised. I would have thought you two knew everything there is to know about us.
[who was profile???]

[There's...a low chuckle, not entirely amused but they shake their head.]
Can't really show my face in the first place, can I? [A hand lifts, gently gesturing at the hood before it drops to their side. No comment about the day though because, well, it was bad. Today was a very bad day, but saying it out loud feels like derailing from the point which is to get answers for everyone.]
Running away wouldn't fix this anyway. So it made sense to face everyone now whenever they ask.

That would have been awfully convenient, wouldn't you say? I cannot deny that I would appreciate the chance to know, if there is ever anything you care to share.
[lune is always looking for more information, but also doesn't seem to sound entirely bothered by their lack of it at the moment]
However... as it stands, we are but strangers.

They were prepared for the young one and I to hang, as if we are merely but errand boys. A rather unkind thought, if I say so myself...
[lune's bones are OLD stop making them DO THINGS]
Perhaps it is what the fates thought important to share about you.

The fates have shit priorities.
[grudge holding isn't a skill????]
Isn't that the case, though? You're answering to the whims of another entity, not your own. Everything that's happened so far, you've pinned on the universe or the fates. Not yourselves.

[there is a laugh at that because it's not like she's wrong - and despite everything, lune will regard her with a smile in their voice]
No, you are certainly correct.
[and they will turn to face her properly, bending at the waist to bow their head]
I possess my own will. Make no mistake. However it does not change that the lack of answers provided to us have been difficult, and our efforts fruitless.
It is frustrating. And even though I must press onward regardless, I apologize for not being able to provide more.

Again, don't get into a fight with him. You could have done that.
[Gosh!!]
Let's say one of the corrupted is suddenly unable to lie. [Hypothetically. Because I, Kyuu, wouldn't want to Spitfire on anyone's parade.] What would they consider to be the truth if asked whether or not they murdered the victim?

[... The gesture catches her off-guard, but she recovers quickly enough. Crossing her arms, she regards him quietly for a moment before huffing out a laugh. It goes without saying that it's devoid of any real humor.]
Well, at least you recognize it.
[A...pology accepted...?]
You say you have your own will. So, what does that entail? What is it telling you to do, regardless of what the universe wants from you?

It wasn't even--forget it. [There's no winning this one. In the end, North asks a question and Sol debates an answer.]
You're not getting it. You can't ask the question of if someone murdered the victim because even if they didn't know it, it still happened. There was still some part of them, the person that they were before they were corrupted, that's still there and still acting on their thoughts.
So what's the truth? The physical, the subconscious, or both?

[they'll straighten then, apparently glad to have received? her? forgiveness????? if it can be called that.
regardless their answer is even, and certain]
Only what it always has - to protect all that I can, for the sake of those who only wish to live their lives without causing harm to others.

[... Hm. It does take some effort to wrap her head around that, if only because she's always considered the truth to be something strictly personal. Every person has their own version of the truth, kind of?]
Mary appeared to have no idea of what happened to Tsurumaru, up until you called out the darkness within her. It's just— [...] I want to understand what happens to that person's mind, to their cognition, once the corruption takes root in them.

[there is a slight laugh at that if only because - ]
If the aim is to achieve harmony, then do I not also prosper in the happiness that comes afterward?
I suppose I derive my own self-satisfaction in being able to survey the peace of others. It is a precious thing, after all.
