re: her mun's search for a game for her

[watersense]

...if you don't know where you want to go, why do you want to send me there...?

[As for what she thinks of it...



.....]

I can't tell you what I think of a place I don't know.

It should be your choice, Yin.

[To go somewhere or to not go somewhere, that's how partners work. Right? Even if muns can be a devious lot, it's still a partnership of sorts.]

[watersense]

Yes...

[Although she doesn't exactly know what to make of this kind of partnership, she doesn't think it's wrong to call it that.]

I don't think I can help her make that decision. Where I go... it doesn't matter.

[Rather than the place- it only matters to her that she doesn't have to go alone. But she knows that's not something she can decide, so it isn't anything that will aide that decision.]

[imhereforschool]

[Except it does matter, even if they rarely got a choice in it. Hei's lips press into a thin line, holding back a frown at the thought.]

If it didn't matter, you wouldn't have said anything.

[Although, by the same token, she doesn't tend to speak up at all. The fact that Yin had was telling enough, troubling enough, for Hei to step in.]

[watersense]

[That's something Yin has to think about. It's true, but... how to say it.]

There are places I won't go.

[But she also didn't believe those places would be considered. Rather--]

But... a place I want to go...

[That was where it became difficult. What kind of place she'd like to see... something that would be "fun" to her...]

I don't know.

sorry I had work, and work again in the morning!

[imhereforschool]

[Hei listens quietly, his head cocked slightly to one side. She want to go, but the question is where. The places muns can send them are vast, some completely horrible even more than their existence in their own world under the Syndicate's thumb.

He doesn't want her to suffer, but where to start? The place his mun has had him in for some time now might not be the best, but first to find out what she really wants. If he can.]

Some place...on your own? [From the time he knew her from, Yin had been becoming fairly independent.]

not to worry, I totally understand!

[watersense]

[If it's a question of with or without, then what she wants is...]

I don't want to go alone.

[A place she would want to go- whatever it's like- would be a place that she could still see Hei and the others. That much she understands. Still, if it came to that--]

...but I can if I must. [Whether or not she can manage... she's sure she can. So ultimately it's not something to worry about. Just... a preference.]

Thanks, and sorry again for keeping you waiting!

[imhereforschool]

[That answer is all Hei really needs. If she doesn't want to go alone then that's Yin's choice.]

You don't have to. [A pause.] There's a few places where you won't be alone. If that's what you want.

Not at all- I don't mind waiting!

[watersense]

[Yin perks up slightly, lifting her head the smallest fraction. Her eyes stare, unblinking, saying 'I want to know.' It's here that she thinks she'll find the place she wants to go.]

ypu have the patience of a saint xD also love your Yin!

[imhereforschool]

[He nods, picking up easily on that subtle look, gathering his thoughts. Part of Hei just wants to tell her not to bother. It's not easy out there, but when had it ever been for them?]

I was sent to a city awhile ago. It has a power called Bending, like a Contractor's but without the price. [There's a pause. It took him well over a year to branch out with this reality bending power, but he finally did.]

It's called Nautilus. [A word heavy with some bitterness. Not all his time there has been good.]

I'm the only one you would know there, but it's not the only place you could go.

aww thank you! she's a newer character for me, so that makes me really happy. I love your Hei too

[watersense]

[A place where she could see Hei... She doesn't have to think about it; she knows that if he was the only one she could see, she'd be satisfied. That would be enough for her.

Even though her heart is moved by so little-- she can tell that he's had troubles there. It's enough to know that it's not an easy place to be all the time, but that's something she's familiar with and... that makes her want to go even more.]

Nautilus...

Thank you!

[imhereforschool]

The City of Change.

[That's said a little bit more fondly, perhaps. He's changed but some things never would.]

Section-Chief Kirihara is in another place. The only information I have is that is runs on emotions. [And that place is called Empatheias. His mun's considered sending him there as well, but one city is more than enough for her to handle!

Still, that choice is with Yin.]

[watersense]

[The City of Change... Yin can't help but be drawn in by a title like that. The idea of a place that might see change-- move her heart...

She's made her decision.]

Wait for me.

[imhereforschool]

[If he could change there, then so could she. Maybe, despite all its troubles and pitfalls, this place could be good for her, too.

The thought gets a ghost of a smile from the Contractor.]

I will.

[He'll keep an eye out for her. Yin can count on that.]
