[She smiles, nodding her thanks.]

I was wondering what I might have to do to change my power.

The one for Lili's eye? That's the other thing I wanted to talk to you about... Feral has water, Akane has air, Squall has earth, and Miki has fire, right?

[She tilts her head.]

If that's the case, I should be done with it already.

[She nods with a smile to that first part, even if it fades slightly at the next.]

Okay. No other rules, like it being someone I don't know well, or something I wouldn't tell them ordinarily...?

...Okay.

[Hm.]

Can it be you? Because I'd like to just get this done quick.

[She tilts her head, thinking for a second.]

After all this is over... I don't want to go home.

Okay. Do I just tell you what I want, or...?

[To his question, though she just gives a shrug.]

Even if we do get it back, it's like... So many things that were not great happened there, and it feels like if I did go back - everything would just be a reminder.

Undertow.

[She nods, though.]

Yeah, ideally, but... Nothing's ever that easy or simple, right?

The fact that something is possible doesn't mean it's going to happen, even if we work hard.

[...]

Sorry. I shouldn't be a pessimist.

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-07-05 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
...Right. I could probably be better at that second part.

No, I know you weren't.

[...]

Thanks. It means a lot to hear you say that.

...I don't hear that from a lot of people.

[Especially not people she looks up to, which probably explains the small, pleased smile on her face.]

But, hey - you too, you know? The whole... ripples thing.

[nailed it]

I bet you don’t get a lot of thanks for it here, though.

[or maybe he does while everyone is preoccupied being mean to the baby]

That doesn't mean people can't have common courtesy. But... If it doesn't bother you, I guess that's good.

[Even if it's a little hard for her to imagine.]
