[lune is patient]

You are...?

[gently guiding, sincerely curious what she might have to say -

though they leave out the 'just']

[specialdog]

[ ... She smiles!

That means you don't get a clear answer. ]

It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters if that I don't have control over this world.

[cyclists]

Hmm....

If I may... I believe it matters a great amount.

Just as I would like to watch your favorite 'shows' with you - I would like to know more about you. What it is that makes you smile, what brings you frustration.

If you would but allow it.

[specialdog]

[ Hmm... It's a playful answer, not really addressing the real subject at hand, but. At least Akane seems a little more genuinely cheerful? Maybe?? ]

I like to win. That's what makes me smile. What brings me frustration is when things get in my way. When people are rude, or pushy, or can't take a hint. That kind of thing.

[ so sayeth: a very fucking rude and pushy girl. ]

[cyclists]

Ah, the rules of etiquette are certainly very important.

[a little nod]

Very well then. Shall we continue to make it our game? For the task that I have offered in exchange for your power source, I am entirely certain that you will be able to win.

I would not give you a task that I was not entirely certain you would be able to complete.

[specialdog]

I'll try, but... I think you're being pretty unrealistic, here.

[ still, she stands up and dusts off her skirt. ]

I'll let you know how it goes.

[cyclists]

I will readily await your next visit.

I have faith in you.
