... hmm. It's alright.

I suppose I'll have to ask them after all.

[and she's going to

try her best to put the book back where shess pulled it from even though she can't fuckin each]

[nonbelligerent]

That would probably be your best bet.

[...

he'll just. take the book out of her hand and put it back for her.]

[coastal]

[ . . . . ]

Thank you.

[she has to accept it, one way or another]

How infuriating. I didn't want to have to ask anything else of them.

[nonbelligerent]

Have you asked for things from them before?

[coastal]

I haven't spoken to them since I had to deal with that stupid partnering power.

Sol wasn't of any help to me then - am I supposed to believe that things have changed?

[nonbelligerent]

You don't believe in second chances?

[coastal]

[ugh

there's an annoyed look at that]

... we're going to find out.

[nonbelligerent]

Do try not to be too short with them.

[coastal]

You're on their side?

[nonbelligerent]

If cordiality alone meant I was on a side, I would be on many sides.

[coastal]

Well it's one type of diplomacy.

[not really lili's type

but]

[nonbelligerent]

There's a reason mediating is listed on my scroll.

But really, it's because Lune asked me to tell people that if it comes up, and I might as well.

[coastal]

Fine...

I'll behave.

[will she]

[nonbelligerent]

[he does not expect her to]

Thank you for considering it, at least.

[coastal]

You're welcome. I need things from them, so...

[she sighs]

Someone told me that the corruption, if it's lingering, can alter someone's behavior by the way. I'm still not done looking for whoever hurt Junna.

[nonbelligerent]

If it helps at all, I confirmed her to be aligned with water, so she almost certainly used her ability that night.

[coastal]

Her ability....

[she frowns]

She never told me what it was.

[which frustrates her, because with nana gone... wasn't lili the next best person to know such a thing?]

[nonbelligerent]

It's not the sort of thing that comes up in casual conversation.
