[ if lea wanted someone to hold back or sympathize, he came to the wrong sword. even for kara, it's clear that he cared about the girl, but at the same time... ]
Letting her stay like that helps no one. She could have easily killed someone else.
[ there should have been another way to purify mary. he won't argue that. but leaving her like that would have turned out worse for all of them, in the end. ]
[ it's fine he wouldn't have ever admitted to it if he wanted people to hold back?? it's all good ]
... Yeah. I know. [ he shrugs ] Haven't given up on finding another way to stop the corruption in people, but I was going about it all wrong. And you kinda had to clean up that mess. So, I figured I owed ya.
[ by emotionally manipulating a child but like who is counting those ]
[ he glares lea down. does he know how impossible it sounds? does he even have a clue where to start? maybe, if tsuru's shards get home, maybe the saniwa can somehow summon him again, but kara won't hold his breath for that. and that wouldn't help mary, either. ]
People die. Don't waste your time on the impossible when there's work to be done.
[ lea isn't here to pick a fight (...the opposite, really), which is why he doesn't object to anything. That, and it's not like he expects anyone who hasn't spent a lot of time working on getting people back from seemingly impossible situations to understand. ]
Don't worry, I won't waste any time on it. The darkness is priority one. And as an added show of goodwill, I'll even stop bothering ya.
[ like. in general, not just now. it is probably best for both of them if lea leaves kara alone, he figures. ]

[ kara is going to ignore the rest of that because he doesn't want to think about the way he manipulated her ]

You can believe me or not, but I'm gonna figure out a way to bring 'em back. Both of them.
no subject
We have to deal with what's in front of us first.
[ then you can try to do the impossible. either way, kara isn't going to get his hopes up. ]
no subject
Obviously. But they kinda go hand in hand to me. There's no point beating back the corruption if we lose half the people who were brought here.
