[ We? She hopes she remembers that to ask about another day.
The smile she gives him is fleeting as she lowers her eyes. ]
It's not that admirable, but thank you.
[ It's not said out of modesty or humility. It's just what she believes.
She raises her head to meet his gaze again. ]
I... suppose if I had a wish, that would be mine. To be able to help you and the others to stay yourselves and save what you hold dear. I'll pray for all of you to be victorious.
Fufu, I think that if you were someone who would boast their way of life as an admirable one, I would be less interested in it to begin with.
[which isn't to say that soo-won doesn't like confident people. he does! he just thinks that those who are more subtle in their ways are ones that he finds himself drawn to.]
What I hold dear...
I suppose at the moment it would only be to ensure that this situation resolves in a way where we can all return to our homes as unharmed as possible. It had been my intention from the start - and I would only worry after myself if I ever changed my mind on that matter.

She clears her throat and focuses on what he says next. ]
Very well, then! We're agreed.
[ More often than not, they seem to agree, and she takes that to heart.
She doesn't think she's unique, but she's comforted when her views align with others. ]
Although I think I'll worry about you before that.
no subject
though he seems a bit curious, if playful]
Oh? Do I come across as someone who needs to be worried over?
no subject
Why wouldn't you? Someone who'd get a splinter instead of dodge deserves a little worry.

[let him live!!]

[ She says that very plainly. She doesn't actually doubt Soo-won's capabilities, but it's a little funny?
She was very sorry at the time, but enough time has passed that hindsight is good for gentle teasing. ]
And now I must worry about you running through a forest.

[is she still teasing him
is she worried he's gonna trip on a root
yet even though his expression seems gently tired, it seems like he knows the teasing is all in good fun]

[ She smiles and, after a beat, decides to be kind. ]
I know you'd be fine. Bad luck happens to all of us.
no subject
So it does.
I'd rather that it hit me than you at any moment, I suppose.
no subject
She frowns because it's not like it's something she wouldn't say herself. ]
You needn't worry. It's difficult for anything like that to stick to me, so please work on avoiding bad luck yourself.
[ As if that's something that can be done somehow. ]
no subject
But I wouldn't be too worried. I've been called rather resilient at times, you know?
[sure]
no subject
[ She's so sincere and straightforward about this.
But that doesn't mean she still won't worry. ]
no subject
Then I'll do my best to uphold your faith in me, Jeanne. Thank you for trusting me with it.
no subject
[ She's just going to heap on more and more faith. ]
