I suppose it would be terribly rude to refuse such a nicely worded request.

Thanks, I owe you.

Actually, I wanted to talk to you most of all. All the others seem to have some real personal and emotional investment but I thought you seemed pretty professionally detached. I don't know if it's true or not, but...

Anyway, you're fighting alongside Dai. But, regardless of your public goal, are you fighting for someone or for something?

Most people don't fight without some sort of beneficiary in mind, do they?

[oh he knows she's gonna be even more tough than dai lmfao :( ]

Yeah, that's why I'm asking.

[subdeify]

Are you asking what that beneficiary is?

filtered to belin ;

[existenta]

Yeah, please.

I'd be rather uncomfortable giving you a specific name, but it's a singular person. Someone very important to me.

-- you have one more question for me, then?

filtered to belin ;

[existenta]

That's more than okay. Thanks.

-Hey. That's cheating or something, isn- [shuts up :|

QUIIIEEET for a moment.]

...Before you became the Air Magister, what was your life like?

[ a small laugh, very polite ]

I don't like being called a cheater -- would you like one more?

But my life before?

[ an idle thoughtful noise ]

I suppose you could have called it very average.

[Oh, he sounds surprised.] That's really nice of you, actually. It was my own fault for falling into it. I guess I shouldn't have worded it that way, sorry. [He laughs sheepishly.]

...But, if you'll really give me one more: did you want to become a Magister?

filtered to zack ;

[subdeify]

[ again, a polite laugh ]

Mm, but I do hope you'll answer one of my own questions, afterwards.

filtered to belin ;

[existenta]

For me? Okay. Fair's fair, right?

filtered to zack ;

[subdeify]

[ her smile is almost audible ]

Then yes. Yes, I did wish to become a Magister.

[ ever so sweetly ]

Now, may I ask why you're gathering this information? I would assume you are asking similar things of the others, and for some reason, I doubt that you are compiling it to publish a factbook.

Thanks, you've been really helpful.

[he's quiet a moment.]

Well, actually, after the murders I was asked to see if I could talk to you guys and get some insight on the situation. But, I think you're all pretty honest when you have something to do with this stuff so I thought I'd just get an idea of what you each were like. You guys are just like us; I think people need to understand that. We'd all probably get more done if we all trusted one another, right?
