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.
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.
I think that there is something to be said for a healthy amount of realism. After all, to ignore the world around you and charge forward is hardly a strategy either.
[lune doesn't really fault her for that, but he offers a smile anyway.]
From what I have seen... it takes both understanding of limitations and faith in others to truly enact change.
[that seems to be something that lune is at least ruminating on, though?
not in any type of brooding way - only lost in thought.]
I was once a being that existed for only one purpose... and now I may pursue that which I desire. I do not know if I deserve thanks, for living the life that I now get to choose.

then smiling] Well done, well done. Then we shall see about being able to regain what she has lost.
[since it's an older injury and whatnot, that'll at least be able to explain the ic/ooc delay,,]
As for your new task...
You must merely divulge a difficult secret to another.
no subject
Okay. No other rules, like it being someone I don't know well, or something I wouldn't tell them ordinarily...?
no subject
I think the fear of being known is challenge enough.
[still though, there's a smile]
But I think with help and trust, you will be able to overcome.
no subject
[Hm.]
Can it be you? Because I'd like to just get this done quick.
no subject
[yeah he hadn't seen that coming]
If you find me an appropriate recipient, then I suppose that should be fine.
no subject
After all this is over... I don't want to go home.
no subject
hm.]
... your task has been granted - you are free to change your power as you wish.
[that said]
Is there a reason for your wish?
no subject
[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.
no subject
[easily - and then there's the pause at that]
I see, I see... You wished to repair some of the damage to your world, did you not? Would you like to see to that first, and then take your departure?
no subject
[She nods, though.]
Yeah, ideally, but... Nothing's ever that easy or simple, right?
no subject
[emma has a new power nice nice nice -
but that said lune will pause before offering her a fond smile]
Certainly not.
However with determination and wit, I think that nothing is ever impossible either. I will support you in every way that I can.
no subject

Sorry. I shouldn't be a pessimist.

no subject
[he'll just gently reassure her of that - ]
On the contrary... I think you are well on your way to accomplish your goals.
I often think you are capable of more than you are aware.
no subject
[...]
Thanks. It means a lot to hear you say that.
no subject
... your humanity is a gift, Emma.
Even if you find obstacles ahead of you here, I have faith that you will be able to cause ripples even larger than you know.
You may have more faith in others if you would like... but I would also like to see you have greater faith in yourself.
no subject
[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]
no subject
Thank you.
All that I do is with the hope that each of you will find peace.

Regardless... thank you, for your thoughtfulness.
