[There's a chuckle, and Milla shakes her head.]

No, no. Accessory. I'm sure Emma shared her activities with you, didn't she? That is, of course, what couples in dire circumstances do, after all. I additionally confirmed your non-involvement.

I plan to stress to Emma that she is open and honest with everyone. It is likely our best path forward.

Do you think that someone "not risking" something here has saved them from corruption or passing? If so many people are truly on the brink of the knowledge, then it is best for the group dynamic, and people's belief in her, that Emma come forward with it.

This is precisely what I am speaking of when I push for open honesty, and I suspect it is what Sol would suggest, as well. How else would you recommend that trust be built, Axel?

[hmm!!!

milla's expression doesn't shift, but there's a clear look in her eye of someone taking notes.]


Will you force my hand to put out more than that? "Our time together is running out". How much more time do you imagine we have remaining to hide our truths in the shadows?

And you have not yet answered my question.
tothemaxwell: (and i've met my match)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-22 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
We shall see.

[...]

Consider my words, Axel. Because trust is what we all need, now, more than ever.

Does Four weigh on your mind?

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-22 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Then... all of that aside, what do you fear?

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-22 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
All of a sudden? I'd say that it is the summary of most of your actions, although perhaps "fear" is sometimes a little strong.

You feared for Xion. You feared for Emma. You fear for your close friends, your family unit here. You fear for what your actions will cause for them.

The only person you do not seem to fear for... is yourself.

Where do you think worry is borne from? I never suggested it was unnatural.

You have time and time again proven yourself as a reliable source of ability and information, Lea. What part of you feels you are untrustworthy? I notice you have not refuted my final statement.

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-22 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
You certainly do seem to feel that way. But as always, I can't help but notice how others worry about you—depend on you. No one, myself included, wants to see harm come as close to you again as it did with Shirasu.

[...]

I believe you. Then, what would you say it is that propels you forward?

As you have shown so far. But you still need only die once here to be dead.

[her tone is gentle, but not admonishing. please be careful axel, people generally die when they are killed, current company nonwithstanding..............

anyway

hm]


To someone here?

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-23 10:04 am (UTC)(link)
I suspect so, but these past few weeks have encouraged me to open my mind even further into the unknown. In short, who knows?

[mystery! intrigue! it's fun!]

Although you do keep a somewhat shady demeanor, I have no doubt that you keep your promises without hesitation. For all your deflection, you are, at your core, a very good person.

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-23 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe we were talking about what you should, or should not do, and why that may be.

[she's helping!!]

I am looking forward to your rallying cry tomorrow, Lea.
tothemaxwell: (bad news)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-07-23 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Nonetheless, I shall look forward to it.

[milla always yes]

Was there anything else? Or shall I leave you to your evening?
