How much do you feel comfortable explaining? I mean, what he said was... That you knew too much of him. I just wanted to know what he might have meant.
[ Her expression twists, something in between a grimace and a humorless smile, and when she speaks, she sounds bitter. ]
Of course he'd say that. Any information you find out about him that he doesn't tell you himself is knowing too much about him. On the pretense of building trust, when we first told each other our elements, he told me his was earth.
[ So she was in the dark about that, too, for a while, but remembering that conversation makes her remember another conversation. ]
... Emma. Were you the one who told him I have a role here?
Yeah. Well, I'm just glad he's out of the picture now, but - I'm sorry. I tried to be careful about who he found out about... I wouldn't have checked you if I thought you had a role.
[ They can't help what got found out and that Shirasu and Hisoka worked together or shared information or whatever else they did together. That's such a cursed pair. ]
That makes me feel worse for wanting to trust Shirasu.

Nobody will do anything to you if you do. He can't hurt you, we're all keeping an eye on him.
no subject
It's... He was, um, he is a shinobi.
[ She actually isn't sure what that means. It's just something she heard in his memory and remembered. ]
His... family circumstances are.... [ She looks away. ] They're not ideal.
no subject
[She frowns slightly, tilting her head.]
Not ideal, as in...?
no subject
[ She's trying to be very diplomatic about it. ]
I wouldn't wish his family history on anyone.

...No. It must have been Hisoka.
no subject
[ She doesn't like the implication of that. ]
... No wonder.
no subject
Oh - did I never tell you who my role partner was...?
no subject
[ Four would've yeeted herself away. ]

[She sighs.]
What do you want to happen to him?
no subject
[ That's pure honesty right there. Her fate is still tied to his, and she can't see any way to change that. ]
But if I don't have to see him again... that would be ideal.

Thank you. I appreciate it. If they get his power sealed, I don't think he'll be too much of a threat.
[ Just how much can he do with broken legs? She hopes not a lot. ]
no subject
[She isn't quite certain about that, but she's at least trying not to sound like it for Four's sake.]
no subject
... I'll believe that everyone will try what they can to keep him neutralized.
no subject
Sealing his power should be a start, and... it's not like he's going to be too mobile for a while.
no subject
[ He still has working arms and is in a wheelchair. She knows Shirasu is capable. ]

[ She hesitates before she adds: ]
I'm going to do my best to avoid him. That's.... wise, isn't it?
no subject
At least... I can't really imagine what you could gain by talking to him.
no subject
I shouldn't run away from the truth in front of me, but would I get any of that from talking with him?
[ She sighs. ]
no subject
[So, probably not, she means to say.]
