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.

[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

And I'm guessing there are certain things you can't tell me, even if you wanted to.

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...

[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.]

[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.

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]

no subject
[lune thinks that he definitely needs to get better at that]
Though I suppose in the case of Hisoka, it was merely a matter of containment and ensuring that he be at least observed, if not stopped.
Though I trust you won't breathe a word of this to him - or I may very well earn his ire.
[and lune gets along with everyone? but he especially doesn't seek to disagree with hisoka or else he might get unwieldy]
