I guess not...

Lune, earlier I used my power on Shirasu, but I worded it two different ways because I wasn't sure which one would work. Can I asked which went through?

[cyclists]

Certainly. At present, he is forbidden to speak of Emma's role and any information regarding it.

That is a rather fun use of your power.

[whitewalls]

I haven't really been sure what to use it for so far, so I'm glad something came out of it.

[ there has been plenty of opportunities to use it she just

has not

fuckin akane ]

[cyclists]

I think you have done well in the matter.

[lune nods approvingly]

Thank you for doing your best to help protect others as well.

[whitewalls]

I haven't really been doing much... everyone else has been trying really hard.

[cyclists]

Oh?

I wonder why you are so quick to discount your own efforts.

[whitewalls]

[ ... ]

I'm not sure if it's discounting...

[ it is it's backtracking ]

[cyclists]

[there is a soft, gentle laugh at that]

Is it not? Perhaps I was mistaken.

[he doesn't think he was,,]

Regardless... even if others are doing their best to fulfill their goals - does that pull away from the effort that you put in as well?

Is there a reason why both cannot be true?

[whitewalls]

... I guess not.

It just doesn't really feel like I'm doing enough.

[cyclists]

Oh? May I ask why?

[whitewalls]

It's just...

[ she sighs ]

Lune, before I try to figure that out, can I ask you what you think of how we've been handling this?

[cyclists]

Hm... I believe you are performing to the best of your ability. While it grows worrisome at times, such trials and difficulties are merely part of life.

And regardless, you all have never disappointed me.

[whitewalls]

We haven't?

[ she sounds too surprised at that ]

[cyclists]

Ahaha. You sound surprised.

Have you been disappointed?

[whitewalls]

I just can't tell if we're doing well or not.

[ keeping the death count relatively low is nice, but... she has no idea if they're making actual progress or not. ]

[cyclists]

I believe that you are... even if it may be hard to see.

[but there is a soft smile in lune's voice anyway]

Rather... I have advised that each of you develop your bonds with one another in order to learn more about each other - and you have done that. Currently, there are no corrupted amidst your ranks who might have the darkness festering within them. Each week, an additional gateway is cleansed through your efforts.

It is progress, is it not?

[whitewalls]

I guess so...

[ she goes quiet, trying to figure out how to word this. ]

Back home, I had a generally good idea of what was going on. I knew things that other people didn't. And while I didn't know everything... it was still enough that I was confident that we were going on the right track.

[cyclists]

[there is a soft laugh]

In that case... you can say that I might have borrowed your position.

I believe that the way that things are proceeding right now... All will be well, in the end.

[whitewalls]

[ ... ]

And if that changes... and you think that we're no longer doing well, would you admit to that if I asked?

[cyclists]

Certainly.

However... I'm afraid I must remind that my opinions are simply that - opinions.

I would like to see you all do well... but I hope not to influence you all too greatly from your paths.

[this is not true, but i'll only admit to it because you're canon familiar]

[whitewalls]

Well... you're guides, right? So we're going to go to you for advice on things.

[ ....

admittedly she just hangs out with roxas but. that's because it's roxas, it's fine ]

[cyclists]

[there is a soft laugh at that]

Of course, of course. And I am always pleased to help when it comes to those who wish to hear from me.

Even so, there will be others who resist - and I find their actions to be entirely worthwhile to watch as well.

[whitewalls]

Are there still people who don't trust you two?

[ granted naminé is biased considering she already knows one of them from before she came here, and roxas trusts lune so she knows he also has to be good. ]

[cyclists]

I wonder if there always will be.

[he doesn't sound that put out by it, at least]

Perhaps if I were to make myself more approachable...

[whitewalls]

Maybe you can wear a hat, like the animals do?

[ yeah ]
