He can teleport? [What a terrible thing to learn. Either way, she sidles in now while the getting is good.] Never mind why... it's just I have something to tell you, Collette.
[But her face isn't too cloudy! So it can't be so bad.]
Oh! Oh, he's a sharp guy. You'll watch each other's backs, I'm sure it'll be fine! Besides... you're from Japan, aren't you? It's got to be nice to see it again, no matter the time period.
I'm excited to see it again! [If rather neutral to down-in-the-mouth about the company.] It's gonna be nice... it'll even be around my time. I'm so happy! I'll get to speak Japanese.
Hahaha, and not have it all need to be translated... you should teach me some one day! I can at least learn to say hello in Japanese. Be careful, okay?
You bet! That's how it works. You and me, we make things more fair or less fair. I prefer more fair. I think you do too! There's always going to be stuff we can't control, so... why worry about the unfairness of those things?
I like more fair. But I wouldn't want to just live with an unfair thing either... you don't know what could be changed sometimes until you try! It's irritating to get it written off sometimes, right?
Who says anything about not trying to change the world?
( Collette winks. She knows what it's like to be written off. Has known, for all her life, and doesn't let it keep her down or turn her away from trying anyway. )
With momentum like that, all there is is to keep going forward! Get this world healthy again, not as sick as it is. If the UE is part of that... then take care of them, too.
Yeah! It'd be nice to have a world where lots of flowers and plants could grow, and people could farm and live quietly... instead of everything getting worse.

( Collette calls out after a minute, rememebring belatedly that Gilbert's not home. He has a tendency to be at the door faster than she does. )
The door's unlocked!

Is Xerxes Break here?

( She cants her head to the side. )
I think he's out, but he can teleport, you know, so I can't say he'll stay out. Why?
( Her eyes twinkle with mischief. She well can guess why! )

And thank you for letting me know.

Anyhow, you told me, so fair's fair, right?
no subject
( She smiles. )
Fair's fair. Doesn't mean people play fair, but it is nice when they do.
( Genuine warmth in her voice. )

[Well, Rin will just invite herself to sit at the kitchen table now. She tilts her head with a smile.]
Fair's fair, and we can make it fairer, right?

( She grins, nodding to Rin. )

I guess we've actually done that now, with these missions and all. Even to the moon!
