She's a really good person—but I guess you already knew that, right? She actually came to apologize to me for what happened when I summoned her! Kinda beat us to it, huh?
I'm so, so happy to hear that! She really is a lovely person. Sometimes, she can be abrasive, but I know she feels badly about it afterward. I consider her a friend, and I hope with time we'll become even closer.
[He wants to save her, from herself...]
She must really like you, too, to trust you enough to reveal that much about herself.

It's because it's you that I'm so nervous! I actually care about--about your opinions, and stuff, you know?
[he fidgets with his hands for a minute, then brightens.]
Oh! Okay, actually, how's this? Ambition took off her mask for me!
no subject
Oh, that's really great! She has a hard time making friends, so I'm happy for both of you! Did she tell you her name?

[he'd vacillated between the two for a while before realizing Ambition was somewhere in between, with their self-destructive powers combined.]
We had a really good talk. I felt like I really got to know her! And...
[he hesitates, wondering if he should even say it. But it's Ion. It's okay, right?]
...She said... even if I wasn't on her team... if she won...
[...]
...She'd help me with my wish.

[His smile softens, eyes growing more gentle. Ion looks at his hands, his head nodding in thought.]
...good. I'll have to thank her for that, too. I'm glad you told me.
no subject
[he watches Ion's face, smiling as he does.]
I think she really cares about you, too.
[For a moment, he seems like he wants to expand on that—but mentally drops it, changing topics, pressing his hands together between his knees.]
Okay, your turn. Got any juicy secrets?
no subject
[He wasn't expecting to have a turn, but...it's only fair! He laughs, his cheeks flushing.]
Well, I don't know! Is there anything in particular you're wondering about?
no subject
Oh, uh, not really. Nothing in particular! Just... go for it!
[he's suddenly flighty, waving his hands around, gesturing the question to answer itself.]
Whatever you want to share!
no subject
You know, it does seem like you have something on your mind, after all.

[ION???]
I'm just-- you know, I can't think of anything!
