That's true, isn't it? But I do wonder... Reyna-chan is always helping me, and I've seen her kindness to others, but who is it that you're relying on in these times? Is there anyone you trust in a place like this?
work ran into my knife... it ran into my knife ten times 🔪
I've been lucky - my partner is a pretty trustworthy guy, even if he is sort of grumpy.
[she and waver get along better than i thought they would and it's hilarious
and then, of course, there's nico - she's trusts him implicitly. but is that something she really wants to get into with eichi? it would inevitably lead into talking about why, and that's nico's story to tell, not hers. ...on the other hand, if eichi is looking for people who are trustworthy, there's no one better for her to suggest than nico.]
And... Nico di Angelo, he and I came from the same place. He's watching my back just like I'm watching his.
[He smiles, thinking on partners and names and faces. He's still trying to remember all the pairs, but he can look into that later. And he's certain he hasn't met Nico yet, really. Not enough to know he's trustworthy.
But he can group him and Reyna together, then. That's good knowledge.]
Natsuo-kun is someone with a heart so pure that it's impossible to misunderstand. He may be clumsy and loud, and dangerous in his own way, but I do trust him. Aside from that... Sanji-kun has done nothing but help me, and from the way that he speaks and acts, I trust him, as well.
[i mean, eichi does, apparently. /glances at this week's shield choice.....]
I see - those are good choices.
[She doesn't know Natsuo or Sanji well, herself - but neither of them has ever given her any reason to distrust them, either. Eichi could pick worse people to trust. There is a long, long list of people that would be worse for him to trust.]
I'm glad to hear that you think so, as well. [It's a relief, even if it's from someone he's still not sure he's read completely. He's always cautious, getting to know someone, and now it's life or death. It's natural, right?
Especially for someone weak like him.]
There are others who are close, if not there, but it feels more tense with each passing day.
It's only natural, after last week. [Someone died on a Thursday. The closer they get to next Thursday...] People can't help but wonder if they've put their trust in the wrong person, or if they should bother trusting anyone at all.
This game of the Crafters' - it thrives on that uncertainty.
...To be honest, sometimes I wonder how much Tiger-chan and Dragon-chan are forced into this. They addressed us as our hosts, but having strict rules for themselves as well has me curious, you know?
[Not that he trusts them or anything, he's just curious.]
Still, there's little to do about anything like that, I suppose.
plEASE DO
