[After that mess of a trial, she's prone to wandering while she clears her head. When she happens to head into the east wing, she finds herself (predictably) in the same coat, but... She can't say it seems to matter as much after all they've gone through today. It prompts a sigh, but not much more.
What demands more of her attention is seeing Senri as she walks by the playground; she's immediately heading his way.]
People think I'm going to change, so what's the point if I run to say... Love, and it's really obvious that's where I'm going? I'm too paranoid to have everyone be able to easily guess what my alignment is.
[he's paranoid in general,]
But.... yeah. I need to... figure out how to do the third, but I hope it'll be okay.
If I leave Sincerity, there's an obvious empty spot.
If someone else goes to Sincerity, the number might stay the same - or even increase. It'd be confusing, and unsure if I'm in the same spot. So it'd be less clear where I've gone.
It wouldn't have to be forever. I'd actually like it if I could slide right back to Sincerity after, because I don't want to leave him.
Okay, but... If you switch right back to Sincerity pretty quickly, won't they know your alignment once you do? Because if I switch from Love for a week to swap with you, most people won't think anything has changed.
Two people added to Sincerity, instead of just one. Someone else goes to Beauty. I'm sure people will switch on their own... but I guess I'd just like to move under the cover of a pseudo-smokescreen?
[and senri levels her a look that's quietly tired but - ]
... I'll figure it out, Zo. I appreciate you looking out for me but...
I don't want you to get caught up in my mistakes. There's other people who could take it if they end up in a little hot water, but I won't forgive myself if you end up dealing with that because of me.

week two, saturday.
What demands more of her attention is seeing Senri as she walks by the playground; she's immediately heading his way.]
...How are you holding up?
no subject
he's just hanging out on a swingset, and he looks up at zoe with a tired smile]
... okay.
Sorry about all the hoops I jumped through with you, Zo - just for it to be like.... that.
no subject
[She walks over, though, taking a seat on the swing next to his.]
You sure you're okay, though? A lot of really upsetting shit happened.
no subject
[swings sadly]
I found out who cursed me, I punched Sasuke-kun, I made sure Majima-san didn't fall into a pit of depression....
My checklist is looking pretty good;.
no subject
[But it begs the question...]
What about you, though?
no subject
[he laughs]
There's no way I can move forward without getting those things in order. But they're in order now so I can... keep working on it.
no subject
And what does 'keep working on it' entail?
no subject
[senri lets his gaze drift up to the sky]
I have... some choices to make.
no subject
You want to fill me in on what those are?
no subject
... which god I'm going to, who I'm asking for help to cover my tracks, and how to keep other people safe now that my original plan has been derailed.
no subject
[A beat.]
And you're going to be careful with the third, right?
no subject
[he's paranoid in general,]
But.... yeah. I need to... figure out how to do the third, but I hope it'll be okay.
no subject
no subject
I think Love suits you, Zo. And I know you don't want to leave her.
So I won't ask you to leave, because she might get mad at me, even if it's temporarily.
no subject
I don't see how leaving her would help, anyways.
no subject

[he shrugs]
That kind of thing.
no subject
Senri, if you don't want to leave him, why are you doing it in the first place?
no subject
[ . . . ]
I think some people would get really mad at me.
no subject
no subject
[shit that no one else says besides senri]
Two people added to Sincerity, instead of just one. Someone else goes to Beauty. I'm sure people will switch on their own... but I guess I'd just like to move under the cover of a pseudo-smokescreen?
no subject
...If you can get other people to agree to it, I'll help out. Okay?
no subject
You don't have to. And I'm not going to ask you too. In fact, if Love loses too many followers, I'll think it's suspicious, and I'll get mad at you.
So you better stay in place, because it's safe with her.

[It's hard to stop a bit of irritation from seeping into her voice as she says that.]
