Eventually, but it isn't like I'm forced to respond to someone who does.

Yes, you seem to have left quite an impression on her.

[onerthes]

There's some truth to that. You might not control the little app itself, but you do have all the control over the replies.

Usually.

[Their phones had been hacked in the past.]

She's left a bit of an impression on me. A very endearing young woman. Quite passionate. Definitely a little ball of emotional fire at times.

[She badly wanted to ask what Makoto had said. Instead she settled for...]

I do hope it's a good impression at least.

[keyofchronos]

Her personality matches her physical strength, and she does tend to leap before looking when it comes to emotional matters. You should know that Makoto is very protective of those that she holds close.

As for what we were talking about. She was asking a few questions about how well we knew each other. [It wasn't a lie, she had asked whether Vira-Lorr knew about Minako and if she knew about Pluto and the others.]

[onerthes]

I might have noticed that she leaps before looking. It's not a bad trait, as bold as it is, though I do worry for her at times that she might get in over her head. But that passion is something to behold.

Mmm. I confess that I'm pleased she thins of me. I'm sorry I worried her unduly though. It won't happen again if I can help it. Part of me would like to be someone she is so protective about.

[keyofchronos]

It is, and her strength and courage is something to admire.

There is little control that you have over it. I don't see you as being someone to need protection, but I'm sure that she will still try.

[onerthes]

My record arguably calls that in question. But, to that end, I don't want to put her at risk, Setsuna. She's strong, very strong, but she's a normal human. Even with weapons from sodder, certain creatures are very threatening and I refuse to get her hurt.

It might be me who steps in to protect her next month.

[Someone didn't know, clearly.]

[keyofchronos]

[Setsuna lets out a sigh, she'd have to keep an eye on all of them to make sure they didn't do anything reckless and stupid.]

Why don't we all focus on protecting each other and take the advice and precautions that have been mentioned. I would hate to see anything happen to either of you.

[onerthes]

Yes... I will agree to play my cards carefully this coming month. I can't afford to be rear guard but I'll bring out a weapon I've had since last year. It's particularly well suited for fighting these things.

I promise to be cautious and never fight alone. You as well.

[keyofchronos]

I'll be sure to stay safe. But if you need me to come help, either with directing people or with supplies, call me.

[onerthes]

I will definitely do just that. Thank you for the offer.

[And very soon into October, she'd notice that Setsuna went quiet. But, since she didn't disappear off the network, she would try not to worry too much. It happened a lot in town.]

[keyofchronos]

I hope you do. And you're welcome.
