[Rei is sitting on the roof with a book. It's sitting to the side with a pencil laid across the open pages. She's busily typing a messages into her device, then taking a few moments to look into the distance and enjoy the sun and the breeze before typing a new message.

She'll be up there all day. It's too crowded inside, but she won't be bothered by company.

I mean, is she ever bothered by anything?]

[It might. He hoped so.

It was true. He could always get a new one. What use did anyone have for it besides his mirror, but his mirror might already have one. Hence why he hadn't tried to steal the Evoker in the first place. All it did was negate his power. Was that the point?

Minato shifted his weight slightly and set a hand down in order to lean against his arm. As he looked down at the floor, his mind wandered to possibilities of what to trade. Was it worth it to give up a memory? Would it be selfish to hold onto something of that much value to himself, while others suffered? It would change him, but by how much? What else could they want from him?

He let silence reign once more, knowing she would probably understand why.]

[Rei looks out at the horizon in silence for several moments, giving Minato time to think.

At length, she speaks.]


I have something.

[Minato turned toward her now.]

You have something...?

[She could probably see the faint look of surprise across his face.]

... I can't.

You shouldn't have to. It's something of yours.

What is that?

[It sounded important.]

The suit that allows me to neurally connect to Eva within the entry plug.

[At that, Minato stopped leaning on his arm and sat up a little more.]

It is too important.

No, there isn't.

But it's from your home. It's yours.

It is useless to me.

It may be useful to you.

[action]

[identity profile] jivitadana.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[No, he couldn't deny that it may come in useful.]

... I can't. It would be taking something of yours in order to benefit myself.

There is no sentimental value to it?

[action]

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head.]

I'm giving it to you.

[action]

[identity profile] jivitadana.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He gently shook his head in response. No, he didn't want her to think he wasn't grateful for her kindness, but...]

... But why?

[action]

[identity profile] second-first.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[She looks over at him.]

You need it. I do not.

[action]

[identity profile] jivitadana.livejournal.com 2011-04-08 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[That was true in one respect.]

Yet why to me? Simply because I need it?

........

[... She had been way too kind to him. Even when he had troubled her just to understand her, her world, as complicated and complex as it was. Perhaps she didn't hold onto her memories or precious items from home as much as he did because of her origins or for whatever reason she had... And he felt like he had been imposing or taking away something from her that should be of so much value to her, and here she had just freely given it to him. For that simple reason.

He smiled, and it seemed that was all. But he knew just from his eyes that she would most likely notice how grateful he was and how much he valued their friendship.]


Thank you... Rei.

[For a second, Rei actually returns the smile. Then she looks away again, at the ocean beyond the grounds.]
