Fine. I feel sick, and not just in the physical way.

I'll fight, but only with someone who wants to. Someone I know. It's only... just until you call it quits. I don't think it counts if we hold back, but- no hard feelings. For anyone. Promise me that.

You should rest. We can go back to the Mansion when you're ready.

[Seeing that she was much more exhausted than he was, he stayed nearby in case she needed any help. Her question was fair. She had never seen him fight before either.]

Persona. [Or Personae in the plural in his case.] They help me when I need it.

[Nodding vaguely, she stretched out her hand so he could help her up.] It's tiring. Contolling it this way.

Okay. So what are they? How did you meet them?

[And of course he helped her up, making sure she was stable once on her feet.] That isn't all of your power, is it?

[How did he meet them? He had never really been asked that before. But again, a valid question, and in some way, he did consider his Personae to be something like friends. They were always with him. How to explain this?]

They're part of my soul. Parts of the self that protect me.

Not really. The problem is more about controlling it than actually making it. [She was steady. With a tilt of the head she set of toward the Mansion.]

Then you must have a strong soul. [Because wow that glacier felt cold.]

[Minato walked alongside her back to the Mansion.]

It takes power to control it. That makes it harder.

[He shook his head at that. He thought that was kind of her to say though.]

I only hope it is.

You don't think so? [She grins.] You don't have to hope when you know it's true.

[Minato shook his head again. She really was too kind.]

My friends help me make it stronger. I know it can be true if I have them. That includes you too.

Me? [She looks surprised. Laughs a moment later.] You mean literally?

[Minato smiled. Really, it had been literally. He heard all his friends' voices for that battle at home. It might have worked the same way here too.]

Mn, I just know that it's always better to have friends you can rely on.

[She actually stops and turns to look at him as the reach the Mansion doors. Though she's still slightly pale and breathing hard, she smiles.] Thanks.

You're welcome, Elaine. I should be thanking you though.

[He moved to hold the door open for her so she would not have to strain herself any further.]

Will you be all right?

[She shook her head ruefully.] I got the candy. I still can't believe we did this.

[She put a hand to her head.] Yeah. I'm tired, but I'll be okay.

So I'll [awkward she was just trying to beat the guy] see you around.

It's okay. I'm glad we did.

[He nodded to her, knowing she needed the rest, but did smile, hoping that she would be fine.]

... I'll see you later.
