Which is why Chiron finds himself making himself available on the first floor of the inn, taking stock of everyone who comes through and gently call out to a few]
[ haha. well, usagi sure is ghosting along the inn, trying to settle? calm her mind? do something other than the same three things over and over again? haha, it's fine. ]
[ she hums as she settles herself into one of the other chairs, pulling the gifted cat plush in her lap. for a moment she's quiet, content in squishing her face into the soft fur before sighing. ]
Have you seen this before? An unseen enemy that threatens what you're working towards?
[ it's nothing she's unused to but it's scary this time, having none of her friends here to help her. she doesn't know who to turn to about these things, to reassure her that'll be alright despite her powers locked away. she can see it in the others that some of them have gone through similar to her but... how do you speak openly about these things? ]
[And that Usagi has probably suffered the same fate, well... his mouth thins into a concerned, sympathetic line]
Every single time, there were no easy answers or clear paths to walk. I found myself often stumbling towards a solution, knowing it might not be the one I wanted.
[ she sighs if only because it's confirmation she isn't the only one out there fighting the good fight for the universe and they too have the same struggles she and her guardians have. ]
I wish it were easier. Sometimes we fight so hard and winning doesn't help.
[ these past few days remind her heavily of their struggle against Pharoh 90 and both almost losing Hotaru for good and the end of their world. things haven't gotten that dire but in her heart, she knows it's only a matter of time. ]
I just want everyone to be safe. I don't want to have to compete against the others.
There is nothing wrong with that wish, Miss Usagi.
[It is the mark of a kind heart, in his eyes, to wish nothing but good fortune on others]
And I do not think it is wrong if you continue to wish it as the days go on... but take heed, even still. I suspect we will be tested in many difficult ways.
[ how does one say she has plenty of experience without actually admitting what kind of experience she has? no one's really here to say she can't reveal her own history but....

Miss Usagi, was it?
How are you faring?

-ah. Chiron-san.
[ that sure is a weak smile ]
I'm fine.

I understand. [ she does, kind've ] I want us to be finished quickly so we can all go home together..... but I'm scared it won't be that easy.

Few things ever are... and it sounds as if you already know this.

[Chiron is hardly the type of person to demand someone's honesty when first meeting them.]
Whatever the case may be, as long as you are prepared for whatever challenges we might face, that is enough.

I've seen my share of difficulties Chiron-san. I just wish I could rely on those I've left back home here too. They make me stronger after all.
