This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

[ She's heard a lot of stupid things. She used to live full-time with her sisters, after all; she used to hang out a lot more with Ludger; Hotaru's her flatmate. She's heard

a lot

of stupid things.

This one absolutely takes the cake, and by a long-shot. Mimi shoves her phone back in her bag, rounding on Silver. ]

You're not better off dead, no matter what you can or can't do. You're twice as important as any of those animals [ she feels like she'll get backlash from that, but it's true ] and it's not worth risking your life over. You've gotta know that.

I'm not more important than them!

[No. Stop, stop the comfort train right there, he is wriggling out of Mimi's arms and standing up.]

You had two sisters, you had friends, you probably even had parents. You never had to worry about having people around you for company.

I had big sis, but I've also had pets. They're kind, gentle, and all they ask for is a little food and respect for their space and needs. And in exchange, they never lie to you, try to control or manipulate you- all they do is love you.

Don't try to act like people are better than that. That's the exact attitude that convinced my dad that it was okay to poach all of those animals in the first place.

[ Ah, there it is. Don't yell at her, she'll yell right back -- ]

Are you really that stupid?! [ She shouldn't yell - she'll get in trouble, her neighbors will get curious, and she grits her teeth to get it under control. She's no less angry sounding, but she's not shouting, either. ] I can't believe you'd sincerely think that. Your dad's a piece of shit and he probably always has been, if he thought that killing animals for profit was a good idea. No one normal - or good-hearted - would seriously think it's a perfectly all right idea to do that!

And yeah -- people lie. If I'm gonna be honest [ and she usually is, brutally ] then sure they do. They do the other things you said too. But it's not like they just do think for shit and giggles, or just because they can -- there's usually some reason for it!

[ Hopefully. Mimi squeezes her hands into fists, feeling her nails dig into her skin painfully, then crosses her arms; those can get the brunt of her frustration instead. She wouldn't be surprised to find crescents there later with how much it hurts. ]

[There is. He understands that, and he believes that.]

That doesn't make us better than them. [He doesn't have the energy to argue. Instead, he feels his frustration to start to well up into tears, but he tries to keep himself composed anyway.]

I never said it did. [ She swallows thickly; it's difficult to get it, sure, but that's her own stubborn pride. ] I just said you were more important than them, and you are. Especially --

[ she can do it, he deserves to hear it ]

Especially to me. And to Ludger, and to your big sister, and probably to half the people we've met and have known for the past two months.

[ Bad circumstances like this always bring people together. It's the way of life. Especially when "circumstances" are "I'm going to trust you not to get me or us killed." ]

[...He doesn't agree, but he does understand.

Silver wipes at his face a little bit, then decides that he's going to hug Mimi this time.]

[ That's unexpected. She blinks, then exhales slowly and returns it. Yeah. ]

...So don't go getting yourself killed over something like that, all right? [ She squeezes him again. It's kind of nice hugging someone taller than her. ] At least, don't think about it or worry about it until we can do stuff without potentially dying.

I still want to stop him. [He's not letting that go. He absolutely definitely wants to put a stop to the terrible things his dad is doing. And who knows what else he does? The last caseworker of his that died makes a lot of sense now...]

I know I need to be way stronger and better than I am now to do it. I also know I can't do it alone.

[He's a sacrifice, after all.]

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it, is what I'm saying. [ Geez. Slow down. ] Until we can hold our own in a battle, don't think about it. That's all.

Then I need to get strong enough to hold my own in a battle. [And fast.]

We'll get there! Be more patient. [ She's impatient as hell but you're giving her a run for her money. ]

In a decade, maybe.

Sorry that I don't magically have enough experience for us to go take him on tomorrow.

I don't want to take him on tomorrow, but there's only so far we're gonna get by practice matches and getting ambushed.

Stop it. [ She'll reach up to bop him on the head. ] We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I said that, right? We'll figure something out. Until then, there's nothing else we can do, short of enrolling in Septimal Moon.

[ Septimal Moon... She thinks about the offer she still hasn't accepted. There's no harm in going for a week or two for classes, even if she can't officially go ahead and attend it. There's Tsukuba to handle, and Hotaru'd miss her if she left the apartment, and she's not even sure that Septimal Moon has a tennis club the way Tsukuba does...

Among other things that she doesn't even do now, but she likes having the option. ]

[...Enrolling in Septimal Moon...]

That's not a bad idea.

It's really starting to look like it isn't. I could still go for a week and see what the classes are like...

...There's no reason for me not to go. [Other than wanting to be able to do what he wants, to go where he wants... But if he wants to be strong, he has to make a choice.] I should talk to my case worker first.

[He doesn't want to, but he should.]

Probably. [ There's lots of reason for her not to go, but none of them seem that important. It's nearing the end of the school year too anyway, so aside from some easier exams she doesn't have anything much to worry about... ] ...We could go together.

You've got school and all of your busy stuff, don't you? [It would be a good idea, but-] I'll be okay on my own.

You need a Fighter to pair up with, don't you? [ She's ribbing him the same way he did her -- ] And we've already paired up twice before. They said they'd take care of... things while I was gone.

[...He's not going to change her mind.

That's fine. He doesn't want to head in there alone anyway.]

Then I'm not gonna stop you.

[ Honestly? She never thought she'd be the one proposing they go, considering -- but --

more important things right now. She can't let Silver go alone, and she can't be content to just do practice fights once in a blue moon. She's still nervous about fighting, but - she's going to get better there, right? Right. ]

Good. You wouldn't be able to, anyway. I'm stubborn.

[ The way she says it suggests it's been pointed out as a bad trait, but... come on, stubbornness can't be all bad. ]

Thanks for being stubborn. [They'll be okay, right? They'll have each other.] What do you think it's gonna be like?

They'll probably be tough on us. [ Especially if they're planning on learning anything in a short amount of time. ] We're Bondless, so I'm sure they're gonna watch us closely too and test us out in other ways. Other than that, I don't really know.
