[they calmly sip their tea at the question, and then speak evenly]
To look after all of you, I imagine, to the best of our ability. We relay messages from the universe as we receive them, and are entrusted with a bit more knowledge and ability than all of you.
After spending some time with the young one, I have a thought or two on why the position was offered to us...
I do wonder sometimes why the young one has come to join me. It is nothing I am unused to doing on my own - but perhaps there is something to be said about possessing a partner.
[they still sound fond.... they like sol quite a bit
but at the inquiry, there is a smile more evident in lune's voice]
You will see more in time - there are still some cards we ought to keep close to the chest.
I would rather that he not be tasked with something so heavy - but I also do not believe in holding him back when his heart is in the right place. At the very least if I am here, I may try to help him where I can.
[like a doting grandparent....]
The two possibilities you propose are not mutually exclusive, are they?
I guess... Sol mentioned you don't know much about my life before this, but it wasn't exactly great. I'm pretty sure being here is way safer than being back there.
[...]
But that doesn't mean I appreciate not having a choice. And if this is safer, I wish my friends were here, too.
I believe the forces that drew us here to be quite powerful - I do not believe it would be remiss to see if a favor might be carried out by your request in exchange for your service.

[She tries her best to look grateful for the offer, though.]
Can I ask you something?

Do you believe that we would be able to make more progress if there were to only be one of us?
Or are you asking why the young one has been tasked with the same burden as I, when we are very different in nature?
[ . . . a thoughtful pause]
Or perhaps I am not earning my keep in your eyes...
[they seem to be troubled by this thought]
no subject
[She thinks about how to phrase this without being too mean.]
Okay, let me put it this way. What would you say your job here is? You as in the two of you together.

However, they are merely passing thoughts.

[But, hm.]
More knowledge and ability?

[She pauses for a moment, thinking about her next question.]
Are each of you holding different cards, or is it the same deck?

[She frowns, then nods.]
Different decks, then.
no subject
[whatever that's supposed to mean
but there's a soft laugh at that]
You are trying very hard to understand me. I appreciate your effort. I suppose it is difficult to trust those you do not know.
no subject
Is that your way of telling me to stop being nosy?
no subject
[there is a smile in their voice]
But I would like to know more about you as well, if you will permit me to ask in kind.
no subject
no subject
Are you displeased with us for being placed in this situation?
no subject
[After a few moments:]
Is yes and no an answer?
no subject
If you do not mind explaining, I would like to hear you speak more on it.

no subject
[well, that's what lune thinks anyway]
Perhaps when all is concluded here, there will be a way to make your home safer as well.
no subject
That... wouldn't be too hard. Is it really only a perhaps, though?
no subject

It'd be kind of pointless to bring me here if there wasn't anywhere to send me afterwards. You know?
no subject

[Anyways.]
It's good to know there's a second chance, at least.
