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.

[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.

[demiurgos-girl.livejournal.com]

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

[Action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

[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.

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

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.

[Action]

[jivitadana.livejournal.com]

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.
