[that depends entirely on how emma feels when she's face to face with lune unhooded.
considering the fact that there will only be a perfectly gentle and serene smile on a face that is, in all honesty, perhaps unfair in how beautiful it is. crescent moons are reflected in the man's eyes as they face her. the smile that was in their voice is now plainly evident.]
Thank you, thank you.
[though given the rest of the ensemble (sans sword) perhaps it's a bit warranted that he might need a bit of help disrobing]
[to be fair no one can imagine that a thousand+ years old spirit would look like a gorgeous ikemen but here we are, thanks japan.
anyway lune will only offer a laugh]
Look at me?
[sorry he doesn't know what that means]
I believe there are ties... and another white layer beneath this blue one. I should be able to retreat to locate a towel for your comfort following that.
[he's gonna try really hard to be gracious, but at least he definitely just gives off the air of an old noble who's never had to do anything for himself...]
What I asked Shess for was simply something that he was not comfortable telling me of his own volition the first time I questioned him, so it would have to be something that you would not share freely with me if I asked.
[which is naturally something that's harder to think of the longer that they get to know each other, and the more lune gets trusted]
And it was only to answer a specific question of his. So perhaps if you are able to think of something you desire to know, and I am able to receive something of fairly equal value...
I am happy to barter information in the ways that I can - but some possess prices too high to be able to exchange via simple word of mouth, I'm afraid.
You said that you thought each of the elements fit the people who were in them, right? Could I get... a basic description of the kind of person you'd think would fit in each one?
I'm afraid that I cannot provide an answer to your question regardless - as I had told you before that it was not the young one or myself who applied elements.
However...
I believe that watching others, you may be able to see the affinity they have to certain elements. The volatility and warmth of fire, the tranquility but forcefulness of water, the free-spirited yet intangibility of air, and the rooted though self-possessed nature of earth.
Every person is different... but they are all so very enjoyable to watch.
[that's honestly the most valid opinion considering the fact that he's ancient and he's just going to shuffle off to head back inside briefly to change
and then he'll come back out, a towel wrapped around his waist and for once missing tsurumaru's bracelet around his wrist.
it's gingerly that he starts to head into the hot springs, amused all over again about the bubbles]
Hahaha. Splendid, splendid. What a wonderful gift.
I am afraid that he would run wild no matter what it is that I would do. From my evaluation, that man would like to himself above others.
Even so... he cannot help himself without first retrieving information and now at least part of the information that he likely would have gathered in the first place also belongs to you, and you are able to monitor part of what he gets up to.
I understand you might feel as though you are responsible for him... but that was not my intent.
Rather, I only wish for you to benefit from his insights.

[Somehow! Not what she was expecting! But, anyways. She's giving his outfit a surprised (and a little bit lost) glance.]
Okay, um. How do I get this off, and how far do I go before the towel comes into play?
no subject

[She starts untying his outer garments once she finds them, and as she does:]
...So, Shess said you were able to give him information in return for him telling you something about himself. Is that something you could do for me?
no subject

[She pauses for a moment, thinking.]
And I'm guessing there are certain things you can't tell me, even if you wanted to.
no subject

You said that you thought each of the elements fit the people who were in them, right? Could I get... a basic description of the kind of person you'd think would fit in each one?
no subject
Then let me ask this first -
Do you believe that your element suits you?
no subject
No. Not really. That wasn't a secret, though, so...
no subject

[She tilts her head.]
So, I owe you an answer.
no subject
[give that she's been able to strip him of most of the outer layers and he's down to one simple white, luxurious-looking yukata]
If I may briefly take my leave?
[so that she doesn't have to endure watching grandpa strip even though he looks late 20s max yikes]
no subject
[he's still a grandpa in her heart.]
no subject

[She pauses for a moment, thinking.]
About the role... Would the scroll we get tell us whether or not someone is corrupted?
no subject
[rather idly, as lune just starts to gently push bubbles around... amused...]
Are you worried?
no subject
[...]
Would another hint about who was corrupted be possible?
no subject
I have already given quite a few. To not just yourself, but to others as well. Perhaps it might be best to discuss amongst yourselves.
I have been feeling like a rather chatty old man.
no subject
no subject
It would be hard for me to pick favorites.
[so that's a no]
I am rather fond of each of you.
You are each trying in your own ways, after all.
no subject
[But she lets it go regardless.]
...Speaking of which, why Hisoka?
no subject
he's going to laugh]
He is rather unpredictable even still, is he not?
[lune is as fond as ever.... bad]
