[She looks down into the bottom of her teacup. It's her guilt that's making the tea taste bad this time.]

Let me do it. Let me talk to her.

[There is very little about this that can be considered a good idea, but Sheena seems earnest.]

[wilder]

[That catches him off guard]

- What?

[fujibayashi]

If I talk to her and tell her what happened, she might be able to handle it better. She can talk to you when she calms down.

[She looks at him.]

... What's with that look?

[wilder]

[Sheena that is possibly the worst plan you made since that time you decided to give yourself up to Kuchikawa. ]

[Crap. how to say it tactfully though]

...No. I can't have you do that.

[Well that's direct anyway]

[fujibayashi]

[It's about the same thing tbh.

Zelos isn't usually so direct. She blinks.]

... Are you sure? If you can't do it, you can ask me. I know she doesn't like me much, but I'm-- but you're my friend.

[wilder]

[Well you pretty much volunteered for a suicide mission, so yes he had to be direct]

Yep, I'm sure. If she's gonna hear it, she deserves to hear it from the idiot that made this mess.

...Besides, I hear back in my time she decided to go after Lloyd for revenge. So...you should probably distance yourself from the whole incident as much as possible. [So you know, she doesn't STAB you]

[fujibayashi]

Oh, that's... [Definitely not good. This is a tidbit that Colette didn't share in her time here, so Sheena isn't quite sure how to handle it. She grips her teacup with both hands.]

I'm sorry.

[wilder]

[he frowns, feeling uncomfortable]

It's not your fault. You had nothing to do with this.

[fujibayashi]

I just want to help. [She tries to lighten the mood a little.] I mean, does the tea even do anything?

[wilder]

Yeah, I know. [He'll shrug lightly] I'd say it's pretty soothing.

[fujibayashi]

... Whenever I was really anxious about my training, Grandpa would make tea, just like this.

[She tops off their teacups, then sets the kettle back down.]

He'd make me sit there and finish it. Even when I couldn't sit still, I wasn't allowed to go to sleep until my cup was empty... even if my tea was cold.

You know the stuff in the bottom of the cup? It's good luck if you get a stalk sticking straight up. Grandpa said that I would be throwing away my good luck if I rushed through everything.

A-- anyway, that's... why I make tea when people come over. It's my own little ritual, I guess.

[wilder]

Heh....seems like a good ritual to me.

[Throwing away good luck if you rush everything? Maybe, he'll look at his own tea thoughtfully. His eyes can see through the colored liquid pretty well- no stalks sticking up there. Pretty typical]

It's too bad I never got to meet the guy.

[fujibayashi]

[Oh, good. She thought he was gonna laugh.]

That's... my fault. You would've met him if I'd made the pact like I was supposed to.

[A lot of things would've been different, though.]

[wilder]

...Sheena, it's not your fault that you didn't know the language that Summon Spirit spoke. Guy's a jerk for not keeping with the times.

[fujibayashi]

[...]

... Did you just call Volt a jerk?

[wilder]

Well yeah! I call it what I see it!

The guy's just been sitting around for four thousand years, there's no excuse for him not to learn a few new languages!

[fujibayashi]

You're ridiculous. He'd probably kill you if he heard that.

[wilder]

[he shrugs!]

People try to kill me for a lot of things, it has yet to shut me up.

[fujibayashi]

I don't think anything can at this point.

[wilder]

And good thing for that huh? What if you couldn't hear my beautiful voice, it'd be dreadful!
