It's got nothing to do with you being scared or not. . . . But if you really said you weren't, I'd call you a liar. And if you said you weren't and I could tell you weren't lying about it, I'd be seriously concerned about you.
[As reckless as she is, she is still so very human. If she weren't at all afraid of the situations she throws herself into, it'd be hard to think of her as such. It doesn't at all match the core of what she is. Fujimaru isn't some kind of invincible hero riding into battle without fear. She's just someone who rides into battle anyway.
Kadoc has to respect it. He watches her, too, picking at the plate. No coffee left in his cup to stare at.]
[ As far as digs go, it's not much of one. There's a brief smile as she says it, quickly gone again. ]
Everything in our lives are just--they are what they are. We can't change them, so we have to adapt and do our best. I don't think it's crazy to do that, either. No matter what that leader of yours thinks, or what that alien god wants, I think it's crazier to want to go backwards. Why go back to the Age of the Gods?
[His own lips turn up too at the joke. It was a joke, right? Dry and dark as it was, but Kadoc likes that in a joke. Approved.]
You'd have to ask someone else. I never had any interest in all that myself. But I'm sure you've realized by now that just because we were all on the same side doesn't mean we all had the same goals. It'd be harder if we did.
[ Another joke, dry as it is, and Ritsuka finally leans back in her seat. ]
But that's the thing too. It could've been harder, but it's not, and I'm going to do my best to take advantage of that. And I'm sure the rest of the Crypters aren't going to go easy on me.
But even if they don't, I'm not going to give up. I'll succeed or die trying.
