[ yeah yuffie just disappeared immediately after execution. tch feelings ]

[ anyway, she's coming in real stealthy and then pops up beside kate ]

... What are you doing?

[sootprints]

[ she gives a start! ]

Oh! Um. Nothing.

Just passing time.

[mogger]

[ normal yuffie behavior ]

[ sits down with her ]

... I didn't know you could do that with your soot. It looks kinda fun.

[ does it?? ]

[sootprints]

... Really?

[ she takes another handful and rolls it into another ball... and places it on top of the first. ]

If you use it like this, you can make a sootman.

[ a little snowman. but with soot. ]

[mogger]

[ pfft ]

That's cute!

So, Kate.... I wanted to ask. How many people did you partner swap with this week?

[sootprints]

[ cute?

that gives her pause, but then she snaps out of it. ]

Just one. Why?

[mogger]

[ you're cute, kate, deal with it. ]

Don't get too excited, because.... they might not want to be found. But I know who your partner is.

[sootprints]

Y, you do!? Who? Or -- wait, maybe you can't just tell me that.

[mogger]

I'll keep you posted. If they decide on yes, is it cool if I tell them who you are?

[sootprints]

[ she seems to stop and think about it. ]

... Hmm.

I'm eager to meet them, but I am a little worried about rushing into it... if possible, I'd want to confirm that they're absolutely certain that they're prepared to risk their life for their wish.

[mogger]

Yeah, that's part of what they're thinking over. But we do know now that if your partner dies, you can make a new partnership. So... there's that.

[ less risk ]

[sootprints]

Yes. Unless they are voted at one of the next rituals. Or if no new partner can be found in time.

It's a smaller risk than we previously thought, but it is a risk nonetheless.

[mogger]

I don't think finding a new partner will be a problem, at least. But let me know what you decide, Kate.

[sootprints]

I...


... Well. [ sooting a little as she ponders this. ]

If you tell them, and they choose to approach me, then it will have been their choice to take on that risk...

So I'll allow it. It's just... they'd better understand what that choice means.

[mogger]

They definitely do, don't worry. [ pats her shoulder ] For what it's worth, I want you two to get partnered up. I think the benefits outweigh the risks.

[ also, i, sipp, want to know how bass boosted love arrows work ]

[sootprints]

I see... Good.

That's encouraging.

[ help. me too. ]

[mogger]

Heh heh. Course it is. ♪

[ her opinion is soooo important. clearly ]
