... They want me. They asked me to fight for their cause; to train to be an agent. They finally see how valuable I can be; that I'm not just an annoying weakling. And until Cain's gone and it's time to--

I'll finally be doing something important again.

I have to figure out how and what to tell Lisa. She'll be angry with them.

Some things are more dangerous than others.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Better than living in a gilded cage, right?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... She loves me. That's why she worries.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

...Huh.

[And she may be able to tell, by the tone, that this is something he's finding alien to contemplate.]

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't want her doing anything dangerous either. ... But then again, she can't fight.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

And you, meanwhile, are an excellent fighter.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Tell her you won't die.

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

She'll still worry.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

She'll live.

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

Of course she will. I'm ensuring that. But still, her feelings matter to me.

[And again, a pause as Kefka takes this idea and examines it like some gemstone he's never seen before, running his mental hands over all of it.]

...I'm not sure I understand, but do what you must.

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

I will.

[emberandash.livejournal.com]

What's so hard to understand about it, anyway?
