Yeah, that's doable. [REGRET.] Because of Justice's rule, I can't give it to you here, but I'll leave it in your path for you in the hall as you leave. That way it's yours.
[And for reference when Ray does leave, he'll find a necklace at his feet courtesy of Love.]
Yeah, he stopped by. [And she's a little ambivalent on that? Her tone's casual though.] Nice guy. Good dancer. Did he tell you he was coming to see me?
It's not because of Senri! [Immediate, and a little worried.] He's great, I would love to have him on our side. We'd get along well, I think.
...I guess he just reminds me a little too much of somebody I used to know. [But she perks up again.] It doesn't matter. He's very sweet. I wouldn't mind seeing him again.
Well, he thinks you're cute. [ray hates saying that, thanks.] Oh, and—assuming no one's lying—he's with either Beauty or Merriment. Chuuya's with Disorder. Shiki's with Ambition.
[although those are admittedly the... cheap options... but look, he tried and only lied about twice in the process??]
Something small for now since it was a smaller task. Maybe an item that would be useful to you? [To be honest she would 100% just surprise him with a book. Or like three books. That's it, that's what she's got here but it's polite to ask.]
[There's a laugh then.] I'm surprised it's taken you this long to ask since I'm your patron. [That's also not an answer, she's just teasing him for a minute.]
...someone told me it wasn't exactly realistic, but it's still something I really want. I guess it could use some adjusting though.
The world I'm hoping for is a world where people aren't kept in the dark about what's happening out there and the truth prevails. You know, no more deep dark secrets that're going to hurt everybody and stuff. It'd be a world where people don't feel like they have to hide themselves or their true feelings, or where they feel like they only have to be one thing. People are complex, Ray. I want a world where you don't have to make a choice about what kind of person you are...you can be multifaceted, and it'll be okay.
And a world where answers are easy to share and easy to find for people who look for them.
... Heh. I don't know if that makes me well-suited or ill-suited as your follower.
[because he's someone who kept those "deep dark secrets", who thought others couldn't handle the truth. who lied about himself and felt like he could only be one thing.
but he's also someone who learned that it didn't have to be that way.]
I understand. [Perhaps a little too well, given the way it's said.] Hold onto that. Bonds with other people are important, but knowledge is, too. You'll need both here.

Can you get me jewellery? It's for her.

Yeah, that's doable. [REGRET.] Because of Justice's rule, I can't give it to you here, but I'll leave it in your path for you in the hall as you leave. That way it's yours.

Soooo I guess it's my turn to reward you with something else, right? Did you have something in mind? [Otherwise Love will make up her own ideas.]

Could I ask for a camera? One that isn't instant would be neat, but that'd involve extra equipment so I get it if that's not doable.
[but mainly he's a nerd who's curious about photo development.]
no subject
It was a small task, so I don't know if I can do a real camera but instant? Totally doable.
[...] Bigger tasks might net bigger rewards though.
no subject
Then, could I bank this one for now?

By the way, since I've been asking everyone else this: if you become ruler, what kind of world are you hoping for?

I guess it's a good thing that's for me to decide, isn't it? I chose all of you for good reasons, Ray.
[...] Your willingness to learn and find the truth and arm yourself with knowledge is one of your most valuable traits. I hope you know that.
no subject
... Of course. The truth is what's kept me alive, after all.

That's why I'm talking to Ruin.

Let me know what she says then.
