[the way she would normally say no even with a touch effect... luckily it feels totally normal to her for whatever reason, so she just nods. hand holding accepted.]

Yeah, sure. Um, to both.

[exploring time!]

Where did you want to go?

[hasteful]

[hand holding accepted! he just swings their hands between them idly as he goes, a playful little motion]

There's a building that I don't understand...

Could you help me see if I'm missing something? I wonder if it's art... I'm still trying to get better at art.

[medeian]

[hand swinging also accepted!!]

Sure thing. Lead the way?

[hasteful]

This way, this way.

[off they go! hand swinging continues]

Have you had luck in finding your team? I know you seemed kinda stressed about it.

[medeian]

Oh - yeah, it ended up being easier than I thought it would. So that's cool.

[trying very hard not to sound judgmental as she continues with:]

And you're with - Rang Lee and Count D, right?

[hasteful]

[he

is just outright laughing when she's clearly trying to hold back]

You know, Libby-san... You can say whatever you want to me, and I wouldn't mind.

[medeian]

I just think you could have done better.

[just says it immediately]

I haven't spoken to either of them that much, but... Did Matsui say why he decided to ask them?

[hasteful]

[he laughs again, amused]

I like your honesty. Please don't hold back with me in the future.

[gives her hand a little squeeze]

Matsu likes Dee-san. I'm not surprised. Dee-san... How do I put this - he feels familiar. So when I asked Dee-san about teams, it sounded like Dee-san and Rang-san came together. Matsu's less happy about Rang-san, but that's alright - I can manage his mood pretty well.

And in the end, I think it's better for us spirits to deal with Rang-san, than any of the humans who wouldn't be able to manage his... [a tilt of his head] Personality?

[yeah!]

[medeian]

Right. His personality.

[...]

You know he's probably going to want to kill someone, right?

[hasteful]

Mm, probably... if he can justify it.

[a tilt of his head]

So I guess I'll just have to figure out some ways to make sure he can't justify it. I don't want to play that way. Maybe my teammates will, but will they still try knowing that I won't let them get away with it?

[now he's just thinking out loud, humming thoughtfully]

I guess in an emergency situation, I find out that other people are dying because of our team, then Matsu and I will just break, and then what will the points be for?

[please be less casual,]

[medeian]

[very concerned!!! after a moment, stopping in place:]

Buzen...

[hasteful]

[he looks at her, confused]

Libby-san?

[medeian]

Don't say something like that.

[hasteful]

[ . . . ? he tilts his head]

Um... which part...? I thought I was trying to say something smart...

[thinking ahead and everything...]

[medeian]

You should care a little bit more about what happens to you, is all.

[hasteful]

[he laughs faintly at that, expression softening]

I do care about what happens to me. That's why I formed a team at all. And if someone comes after me, I'm not going to go down without a fight.

But if I let people die and accept the points that come from it, how is that something I can tolerate? That goes against what I am. [a sword exists to serve humanity, after all] I couldn't face the people I want to see, knowing that I sacrificed other people along the way.

[medeian]

I guess...

[still concerned]

[hasteful]

[he smiles faintly, and walks a step closer to her to bump shoulders affectionately]

You're a kind person, huh?

[medeian]

Just worried, mostly.

[but the shoulder bump is appreciated.]

[hasteful]

I think the two are pretty similar feelings.

If you worry about stuff, that just means you care a lot, right?
