The young one gives an old man such as myself far too much credit. If he were to have as many years as I have to learn and watch, he would be twice as capable.
For all who are said to possess darkness and light in their hearts... I suppose that I have witnessed plenty of that in my time. It is difficult to pass judgment on others, when one sees how many ways history might be able to turn with simple differences in choices.
It's a complicated relationship, is it not? As tempting as it might be to call it black and white, I think the two are far more intermingled than that.

Perhaps through our joint efforts, we will be able to earn him a bit more kindness. If nothing else, I would like to try.

He likes you a lot, you know. He really looks up to you.

Is that not what we owe to all of you?

So you're doing okay despite that.

Or perhaps... something closer to empathy? Have you been in a position similar to ours?
no subject
But... I've had to do a lot of waiting in order to make sure something important was done right. And it gets frustrating.
no subject
Could that be where your patience stems from?
Even so, diligence is also seen as a virtue, is it not?
no subject
[ she takes another sip of the tea. ]
Why do you think you were chosen for this?

[but that's a pretty lofty topic]
Or perhaps because I am even-tempered?

Sol said something similar.
The part about light and darkness, I mean.

[ that's one word for it. ]
It's sort of a hot topic back home, too.
no subject
How did it become troublesome?
no subject

Yes, I have seen that before as well - though perhaps not as literally as it happens here.

[ it's why she accepted their explanation so easily, honestly. ]
But they're... different darknesses.

And Saix, I guess.

that makes lune laugh]
If I may...
What is it that [makes saix so unpalatable] opens the divide between Saix and the rest of your companions?

It's just going to be a little difficult to get used to. I don't have any kind memories of him.
no subject

It is alright, if you cannot forgive him immediately.

I'm more concerned about Xion.
