From how I understood it, the Kappa had wanted some privacy and working on their own contribution a little slower than most. I considered their request to make reasonable amount of sense. [ The noise and bustle of everything irritating the Kappa just made sense, and he saw no reason to argue with their desire to be left alone. ]
... a machine attached to the main water supply. How could that even help the festival?
[ Her response is thoughtful, mused over for what feels like too long to her. She carefully says every word, plucking them gently with great consideration. ]
The saying goes, power in numbers, doesn't it? So, from the moment we got here, as "Lost Souls"... we were numbers.
[ It could be a power play. ]
We promised we'd be there for people when we took their stuff... We'll be there no matter what.
[ The apprehension must have been obvious in his voice. He said he was as ready as he could be, but he was worried about the days after the festival rather than what will come during.
But Aerith is right; they made a promise to be there no matter what. ]
We've done all we can to prepare... the rest is to be there.
[ The smile she gives him is confident, then. Confirmation is all she needed. ]
You're right. You know how to fight, don't you? [ Lucky guess, she'd say. ] The parade's in good hands with us! We'll make sure everything's safe as can be. And... if not, we'll be there for everyone. No regrets.
I know a thing or two about it... I can't say I'm good at it.
[ He gets his ass beat more than he does beating others up. But he is able to get the upper hand in the end. Guess that's what matters. ]
Right... [ Artemy isn't sure about saying that he won't have regrets, but -- it's her smile and confidence that has him wanting to believe in it. He gives a firmer nod, and a weaker smile. ] No regrets.
I can't have my khetey suffer any struggles. [ A beat. ] That's you. Khetey.
[ This would be easier to promise if she had her healing abilities still. Even so, she knows she won't let anything happen to him. As long as she's able, she'll be there for Artemy. ]
...Khetey? [ It's foreign on her tongue. It rolls of it strangely, but there's some sort of comfort and a sense of duty with it, too. Perhaps it's merely that he's called her that. ]
