I...would leave if they preferred.

Miss Yuna, I want you to stay.

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

And I very much want to stay, but Leila and Kyle, at the very least, seem uneasy. *pauses and muses, carefully* It's...funny, isn't it? How they can keep Miss Elbourne without fearing Meier Link coming but they...well, they don't understand Seymour. Perhaps that's all it is.

[youngestmarkus.livejournal.com]

They kept her because there was profit in it. I'm sorry, but that is the way that the minds of most vampire hunters work. If there's profit, they'll risk it.

I'll convince them, though. Besides, *smiles faintly*, I can at least convince Borgoff, and what he says goes.

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

People risk so much for petty cash? ...I suppose I understand. Yojimbo was similar.

*smiles, softly* You don't have to. It isn't...a big deal, not really. I don't stay for protection, and I understand their unease. I'll...have to deal with Seymour eventually, really.

Miss Yuna.. I want you to stay. I want to at least try and help you.

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

...You are very kind, Grove. I am very lucky to count you as my friend. We'll leave it to Borgoff, I suppose?

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

But it is not for them to decide.

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

But...it is, really.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

When something will effect you most of all, it should not.

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

But it isn't me most of all. They're worried, at least two of four are, my staying could cause strife.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Then perhaps it is up to them to be courageous enough to face it.

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

They cannot be expected to. I...am friends with the youngest brother, I've come to keep an eye on his health. He wishes to help me, but his family is...reluctant, worried I think that there will be risk without reward.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Reward? They wish to be rewarded for doing what is right? Cowards, mademoiselle. Cowards without a thought for human decency, not to mention what is logically sound. There is more of them, correct? Better then sending you away to fend for yourself, alone.

[seeker-ofspirit.livejournal.com]

Why if they preferred? What about your choices in the matter?

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

It is their business, their van, their family. I would not impose myself on them.

[seeker-ofspirit.livejournal.com]

I see. How do you fit in with them?

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

I've been asked to look out for the health of my friend, and I play as healer to them.

[seeker-ofspirit.livejournal.com]

Then your skills are necessary to them. If the others asked you to leave, what about the health of your friend?

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

Not quite, my skills are convenient. Leila or Kyle or Borgoff would simply stay behind; I was convenient in that I did not hunt. I could stay behind while the others went ahead and tend to Grove and help out if he was needed.

Without me, one will simply fall back.

[cpu-001.livejournal.com]

Leave?

Did someone ask you to leave?

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

No, it's just...Seymour and some of the Markus clan are understandably worried. I would hate to endanger them.

[cpu-001.livejournal.com]

I understand. Sometimes, you have to leave to protect those around you.

Don't feel that way with me, though.

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

Yes. I care for them, I do want them worried.

I don't. *cants her head elegantly*

[cpu-001.livejournal.com]

It pains me, Yuna. I don't think you deserve to have things so difficult.

*smiling* Why not?

[mlady-summoner.livejournal.com]

It's just the way things are. It'll be finished soon enough.

Well, because I don't stay in close-quarters with you, Murphy.
