Mm... you got a point. And if she's lasted in the Dream Sphere for this long, I doubt she'd be taken out as easily as that. [A beat, and then:] Although we don't really know what else is lurking in the Dream Sphere right now, either...

[Like that inexplicable thing that Junna and the others had fought in the city around that same time... or the bizarre chamber Hanako's group had stumbled upon a year ago, the very details of it blocked and scrubbed from his mind. Though, come to think of it... Crimson had pulled them out of there before... whatever that was went and spotted them. Was everything connected, after all...?

Carefully, he plucks out one of the hard boiled eggs from his curry with his chopsticks and plops it into Junna's bowl, a silent means to cheer her up. He can't take back what he had said in regards to Crimson, but he can do this much, right?]

Whatever you do, just be careful, okay? She's a stubborn one, and more powerful than she looks. I have faith in your abilities as a Dreamer, but... I also don't want you to get hurt, y'know?

[IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.....

He turns his attention back to his curry, dunking one of his fried shrimp into the sauce, a bittersweet smile lingering upon his face.]

... haaa, listen to me. I'm starting to sound like a mother hen with the way I'm coddling you guys...

[thestarknows]

That's true. I... still remember what we found. And we don't have a good explanation for it.

[She frowns a little bit more as she thinks about it -- though she gets distracted by the egg being put there. In a good way. She's a fan. She takes it in her chopsticks, then has a bite.]

Mm.

[Then she smiles -- and Junna nods, seriously, at him.]

I understand. I'll be careful, I promise. I don't want to, either. And... I don't want to worry you, either, Amane-kun. [She's quiet for a second.] It's okay. I don't mind if you're looking out for me.
