You're doing pretty well for yourself without him looking out for you here, so he must've done a good job.

[they nod along with it.]

D'you have anyone you try to look out for, too?

[shiftingwinds]

I want to look out for Ming-xiong, but he looks out for me, usually.

[he's the braincell. also, laughtrack.mp3]

I'd like to be able to look out for other people, though! I want to be reliable.

[probe]

Well, you seem reliable to me! So, um, I think it's a good start?

[envy may or may not be a great judge of these things, however.]

[shiftingwinds]

Aww, thank you! That's really sweet of you to say!

[probe]

Not as sweet as you've been!

[they sound pleased, though, their smile a little brighter.]

[shiftingwinds]

I'm just glad we're getting along.

[yaaaay friendship]

[probe]

-me too. It's nice, you know? It might be a lot, but I'm glad you guys are here.

[shiftingwinds]

I hope you're able to get along with the others, too.

What are you going to do once we go back?

[probe]

...well, um. Just what I was doing before, I guess!

[shiftingwinds]

You'll be staying here...?

[probe]

Maybe! I like it here, you know?

[shiftingwinds]

Will other people be coming after we leave?

[seems like it'd be lonely, otherwise!]

[probe]

Thaaat is a very good question, actually, I don't really know what happens when you guys are done?

[shiftingwinds]

...are we the first people to have come here, aside from you all?

[probe]

Maybe! That's also a good question.

[shiftingwinds]

Is it not something you can answer...?

[it's w0 shi qingxuan shut up]

[probe]

Probably not, yeah. We can't just tell you everything you want to know, y'know?

[shiftingwinds]

If we indulge often enough, can we earn some answers?

[probe]

You should already be indulging for other reasons, right?

[shiftingwinds]

Oh, I am and will be - I was just curious if that would be an added benefit.
