... it's always enough. It... It takes a little while to believe. Because sometimes it's easier to see the mistakes than what you do well.... but as long as you're willing to learn....
[senri huffs out a little laugh at that though]
Did he.... That sounds like the Beauty I know. Can I ask what he did...?
..."as long as you're willing to learn"... that sounds a lot like "you have to want it".
[She really is going to be Ambition forever, isn't she? Always chasing after something new. The question is whether or not he'll actually get it.]
...someone wanted to make a deal with me after the trial. I didn't want to take it. He agreed to be my witness that I actually turned it down, in case... it goes badly and people try to bring it up to get rid of my followers next week.
... it's not a bad thing - to want things, to want to learn. That's how you get better and better everyday. It doesn't mean that anything's wrong with you, but it's alright to want to be more than you are.
[and he'll lean over to kiss the top of her head at that, a soft and encouraging little gesture]
What was the point in having a private audience if he was just going to tell everyone about it anyway...?! [she wipes furiously at her eyes] He's the one who asked to talk to me, you know? And it's not even the first time!
[oh bambi - senri's just going to reach up to gently try to brush away some of the tear tracks with his thumb, because he's helping,,]
He's talked to you a lot...?
I mean - I'm glad, because of course people should talk to you but... I'm a little mad that he'd try to ask you to do something that we don't even know if you can do or not....
He talks to me when he wants something from me. Just like almost everyone else here.
[senri is. helping.]
He tried to make a deal with me last week, too. Only when I told him what the price was, he backed out. And what he was asking for then was less than what he wanted now. There's no way he could have paid the kind of price what he wanted today would have cost, even if it is possible, which I don't even know if it is. I don't know why he even bothered asking me except to rub it in my face that no matter how hard I try I won't be able to give everyone what they want!
Hey, it's okay... Some people are just nervous to talk to gods... Not everyone's like him.
[god senri dislikes yu narukami so much just because of what he's said to bambi - it's lucky that he knows how to play nice even with people he doesn't care for]
Bambi... [the hand at her face reaches up just to smooch her bangs back, to rest on her head so that she has to look at him, keep an even gaze as he speaks softly to her, to try to get her to calm down] It's okay. It's not your fault. None of this - it's not your fault.
We can... We'll make it work. We can find out what you can do, and how much you can do. I know that if you could, you'd give everyone as much as possible... I think Cheri knows a little bit more - he mentioned it to me in the beginning. We can ask Pippin too. Clear up what the rules are, and we'll move forward.
I believe in you, Bambi. Believe in me, too. We'll work together, and try to make as many people happy as we can. It's all we can do.
