[ a little after the Plot was revealed to everyone, katara is going to hunt lief down. it's a little weird to seek out people you just met after finding out there is a chance they might murder you, but she's got shit to do. ]

So. Was his name actually Filli?

[seaclipsed]

If you're sure. But, you know, if you ever need to vent, I'm sure people here will listen even if you don't want to give details. I know that it might be difficult to open up to people who might potentially kill you, but...

[ katara isn't the type to suspect every single person without cause. ]

[reidentify]

[... Lief isn't really sure of how to vent to people anymore. As king, he's supposed to be infallible, after all.]

It is not quite about that. But thank you, Katara. It is good to have someone like you here.

[seaclipsed]

Oh... thank you, that's nice of you to say.

[ SHE'S EMBARRASSED compliments are embarrassing. ]

Things are already going to be hard enough if we're really going to be here as long as they say, with everything else happening. I'd like to help where I can.

[reidentify]

That is a good attitude to have.

[He pauses, before, awkwardly,]

Though I noticed that your roommate feels differently.

[seaclipsed]

Oh, I've noticed.

[ she rubs her temple. INUYASHA.... ]

It feels like I'm babysitting someone.

[reidentify]

I do not suppose you could ensure that he does not, in fact, kill anyone...

[seaclipsed]

I have a few ideas, actually. He doesn't seem like the type who takes well to being told what to do so I just have to make it seem like it's his idea.

[reidentify]

[He smiles wryly.]

I know what you mean by the type. How do you intend to do that?

[seaclipsed]

It'll probably take some arguing.

[ she sounds like she is very prepared to do this. ]

[reidentify]

... If nothing else, you likely would have had to argue with him either way.

[So yes, he can understand why she is Prepared.]

[seaclipsed]

It's probably better that I got stuck with him than someone else.

[ since again, she's at least used to dealing with people with tempers who's bad at listening to others. ]

[reidentify]

And at the very least, even should you fail to persuade him, he cannot bring great harm to you if he too wishes to survive.

[Which is another upside, at least as far as Lief's concerned. Well, sort of. The idea of Inuyasha killing anyone is kind of an automatic downer already.]

[seaclipsed]

That's true. This system gives you one less person to worry about automatically.

... which really isn't my favorite line of thinking.
