[ She puts her hands over her heart. ]
....in the hopes that one day there shall be no more Torments.
no subject
[.... oh. She was that sort of person, wasn't she? A dreamer in more than just the mahou title...
Thankfully, with the candy in his mouth, he can hold back on making such a cynical remark, although he still can't help but stare at her for a moment in disbelief.]
I mean, that's a nice thought and all, but... that's kind of impossible? People are always gonna be worried or scared or upset about stuff, no matter what. Unless you find a way to bring about world peace or something, Torments are always gonna exist, one way or another.
[AMANE... CLEARLY YOU DON'T REALIZE WHOM YOU ARE SPEAKING WITH]
The best we can do is just take care of the little problems before they turn into something huge, y'know?
unfortunately, she's in love with an idealistic utopian cultist,,
Jeannette nods, but she also looks at him very closely. Scoots even closer. Puts a hand to her mouth to hide her lips from others.
And whispers, deadly serious. ]
Are you sure you have not met my angel.....?
Just Teen Girl Things...!!
[He can't help but fluster a bit under this sudden scrutiny, fighting the urge to back away a little. Where did that even come from?]
I-I mean... unless she's a redhead who's out to convince you that the Dream Sphere is the Best Thing Ever And You Should Never Leave, then... no, I'm pretty sure I haven't. Why?
[Because surely he'd remember a lady in blue who went about recruiting people into her Dreamer army... p-probably....!!]
no subject
That is not her.
[ She had so hoped, for a moment, that she would be able to talk to someone else about how wonderful Angel-sama, Madame Ange, is. ]
My angel - speaks of "revolution". But never of staying in the Dream Sphere forever! Who would wish to leave a world this dear?!
[ VERY DISTRESSED. SOMEONE FLEW TO FRANCE AND MISSED THE METAPLOT. ]
no subject
His shoulders slump a little as she backs away, relieved to have his personal space back for the time being
the hypocrite, though that relief is a bit short-lived. It seems like her "angel" probably wasn't in league with... whatever the hell Crimson and Reverie were doing, but the revolution talk was a bit concerning. He knew not everyone saw eye-to-eye with the DU at times, but he didn't think it needed a complete overhaul or anything...An unreadable look crosses his face as she asks that last question, however, and he shrugs, eyes focused elsewhere.]
Well... people have their reasons. Sometimes running away from your problems in the world is the only way you can deal with them. You can't really blame them for wanting an out when it's offered.
[Although there's a cruelty in making said offer when a person is too desperate to even refuse it. NOT THAT AMANE KNOWS ABOUT THAT THOUGH... NOT AT ALL.....]
no subject
And yet, they are so distressed that it still seems best....
Jeanne's eyes water. ]
Then we must help them! Not to run, but to face the problem, and conquer it together.....
no subject
Why did he keep accidentally doing this to girls--Still, there's a bitter taste in his mouth at her impassioned words, and he's pretty sure it's not from the dwindling shards of bergamot candy.]
... it's not as easy as all of that, though?
[He tries to keep a pleasant, nonchalant smile on his face, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes.]
You can't just wave your Sandglass at whatever's going on in somebody's life and expect it to be magically fixed. There's some things you gotta live with that you can't change, and it sucks. Not that it means you should give up everything here, but...
You gotta admit, sometimes life in the Dream Sphere is a lot more fun than the real world. It's no wonder some of them don't want to leave.
[Torments and Nightmares and Disturbances aside, of course... but even then, being able to actually fight back against these things makes it all the more satisfying than being able to do nothing about it at all.]
no subject
I am not saying my magic can fix it. I am saying I want to know what is wrong here, so I may think on it, and receive good counsel. And then lend what strength I can.
[ Her eyes still brim, but the tears don't fall. Instead, her gaze is alight with compassion for somebody she's never really met. ]
When you put off a problem...even if you cannot solve it all the way....does it not get larger? I am but lowly, but I should forever regret not helping where I could!
no subject
[Though... in a way, wasn't conquering a Disturbance sort of like using magic to solve a person's problem? Or at least calming it down until the person in question could decide what they wanted to do about it back in the real world, anyway.
... that was besides the point, though!! He rubs the back of his neck, his smile turning a touch awkward.]
... look, I know your heart is probably in the right place here, but sometimes these things can be kinda personal. Maybe they're not telling anyone about it because it's too heavy, or too shameful-- like family problems or health issues and that kinda stuff, y'know?
[AGAIN.... NOT THAT HE WOULD KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT....]
It's nice of you to want to support people through their problems, but you probably shouldn't pry into them either. Sometimes it just makes things worse.
[But maybe Jeannette shouldn't listen to a boy who's so clam-shelled about his issues that it nearly caused a full-scale metaphysical disaster....!!!]
no subject
If they do not want to share....
Then perhaps someone simply sitting with them would help. Just sitting together, like this....
[ She holds up two fingers, one leaning slightly on the other. ]
It can be a comfort.
[ are we still talking about the rogue dreamers, jeannette. ]
no subject
... but he can't help but think maybe it would have been nice, regardless.]
... yeah, you know what? Maybe. I guess having somebody by your side during it all makes things a lot less lonely.
[They definitely stopped talking about rogue Dreamers like four comments back at this point--
But then the mask slips back into place, and he puts on his cheeriest smile, gesturing to the tin of candies in her hands. Because god forbid he shows a hint of vulnerability in front of somebody!!]
Hey, think I could I grab a couple more of these for my brother? They're pretty good!
no subject
But Jeannette knows what it is like to care for a beloved sibling, and she will not push him to share anything he does not wish to. She smiles and holds the candies out even closer. ]
Please, take what you like.
no subject
Ehehe, thanks!
[He grabs two of the little candies from the offered tin, slipping them into his pocket for the time being. His manners weren't always the best, but at least he was mindful enough not to take too many of them!! (Unlike a certain previously mentioned brother, anyway.....)]
Anyway, I better get going! [He gestures to the folder tucked under his arm, undoubtedly filled with reports he had to rewrite, before adding:] You probably got tons of paperwork to fill out too, right?
[Or so he assumes, anyway-- transferring back to the DU probably required a ton of forms or something, didn't it?]
no subject
[ OH NO
THIS HAD NOT OCCURRED TO HER ]
--Ah, do not let that keep you, though....I shall learn myself, for good or ill...!!
[ girl who wants to turn this org into an army less psyched about paperwork
nothin to see here ]
