Emma and Milla, mainly. But it's not too hard to guess who everyone'll pick.

[cyclists]

What'd Milla say?

[leaberator]

She just asked for our opinions. I dunno who her actual picks are.

[cyclists]

Hopefully she shares sooner or later. She's not really the type to keep secrets or anything.

[leaberator]

She might once the discussion on it gets going.

[cyclists]

She's smart. And she's good at knowing what the right answer is, even if it doesn't always seem like it. [...] She'd be one of my picks, too.

[leaberator]

Yeah? Guess I'll keep that in mind.

[cyclists]

You should talk to her more if you haven't, too. She might have some good insight.

[leaberator]

[ he's going to cover up the murder of julius so he kinda feels like that ship has sailed a little, but he nods ]

Alright, alright. I can take a hint.

[cyclists]

Good.

...are you really going to be okay telling Xion about everything?

[leaberator]

Yeah. She deserves to know.

[cyclists]

Hopefully it goes okay. And if it's done, I'll know, and I can give you what you asked for...if you decide to use it.

[leaberator]

Well, worse that can happen is she gets mad at me. Wouldn't be the first time.

[ ha ha. ]

[cyclists]

If she does, just tell her you're doing it for me. [...] I tried to tell her a few days ago, but I can't. It has to come from you guys.

The rules of this place are seriously getting annoying.

[leaberator]

[ haha, he won't do that. ]

"Getting"? Where have you been? I've been annoyed this whole time.

[cyclists]

You know what I mean. [An eyeroll.]

[leaberator]

I know. Look, don't worry about it. I'll handle Xion.

[cyclists]

I know you will. [He seems assured of that, at least.] ...thanks.

[leaberator]

Don't thank me for doin' the bare minimum, man.

[cyclists]

[...]

I don't see why not. But fine.

[leaberator]

'Cause friends don't have to thank friends for doing that kinda stuff, silly.

[cyclists]

I know. But that doesn't change what I said. I've asked a lot of you, and Xion and Naminé, too. I can acknowledge that much.

[leaberator]

It's not like it ain't stuff we wouldn't have done anyway.

[cyclists]

I know. [Just. Let him acknowledge he's grateful for the assist, damn.]

It'll be fine. All of it.

[leaberator]

You think so?
