[it's probably a good thing that he's telling her this? it means he's letting her in, a little. she's so, so tired of being kept in the dark - either for her own good, or because people think she can't handle it, or for any other reason.
but also, just hearing that someone tried to kill soo-won has her hackles raised so badly.
he survived. he is right here in front of her, living, breathing. he wasn't caught at the trial. he's okay.
...but still.
she takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself. they have to focus.
but gods, she would like to fight sharon herself.]
If you had to guess... what do you think it was, this week? People have said that Raven was acting... differently. Was that supposed to be some kind of a sign that his nova was fracturing...?
[ . . . . . the anger that comes from her manages to only pull gentle amusement and fondness from him - and he first says:]
.... I'm not mad at Sharon. Knowing what she lost, and how important it was to her.... I understand why she would think it worth killing over, and why she came to me.
It's alright, Yona.
[and he seems - so certain of this. there's no hint of anger or grudge that he's holding. whatever happened between the two of them, it truly seems as though he's made peace with it]
.... but that's hard to say. Someone else last week was also having memory problems that cleared up on Friday - I'd thought that perhaps that would be Raven.... but now that he's gone, it's difficult to discern whether that's true.
Cater wasn't behaving oddly last Thursday before you slept, was she?
[...it's hard to stay angry when soo-won is so obviously not angry.
the fire doesn't go out, exactly - she's still very much not okay with the idea of someone else-- of anyone trying to kill him - but it flickers down to embers, perhaps.
cater, though... yona's face falls.]
...I didn't think anything of it at the time. We were talking about the stars. She... said that someone showed her a constellation that they recognized from their world, but when I asked her if she could show me, she couldn't remember. But we were both asking each other a lot of questions, and she asked me one right after...
[she was successfully distracted.]
...was that supposed to be a clue, do you think? That she was forgetting things that had happened here?
[ . . . . . he closes his eyes briefly at that, and there's a sense of sadness that sneaks in. of grief for cater, and what she must've gone through even though there was no fault of her own.]
.... it may have been.
We're slowly forgetting things here - some details are already fuzzy at the edges from the beginning weeks, but that only started come Monday. For her to be experiencing that last Thursday... there's a chance that she was already beginning to splinter.
On Thursdays... we may have to start asking each other questions. If only to ensure to determine the risk that may come.
[damn. is there anything she could have done, she wonders? they'd both planned to try and stay up that night, but - she hadn't managed to. whatever it is that knocks people out at midnight, she hates it.]
[ . . . . . he seems to hesitate before admitting - ]
At present, I'm under the effect of... something. It makes me answer questions about myself even though I don't wish to, or volunteer information about my condition. Thus... you can, if you'd like to -
But there is a chance that any answer that I give will be against my will.
[and he thinks that it's important for yona to know that too]
almost palpable - the relief and gratitude that seem to take over his system all at once. in truth, he's prepared for whatever comes his way given this week but
it's nice to have some of his privacy respected]
... thank you, Yona.
My hope is that come the turn of the week it'll be resolved.
I don't... I know that there are a few powers making people behave oddly this week - but there haven't been any leads on the cause. I've theorized that it might be the Leaders' powers - or the powers of other participants.

...right. That's a good idea, I think.
no subject
Next week - you, myself, Blanca, and perhaps Zuko. And whoever else might appear. We can ask questions and see if that stirs anything odd.
Though even if we notice... it's hard to say whether or not we'd be able to do anything.
no subject
[it's comforting, to have a plan. to know that next week, she'll be spending curfew with people she trusts.
there's a brief moment of silence, and then she looks up. he'll feel a bit of uncertainty before she speaks.]
Soo-won, can I ask you something...?
no subject

But there is a chance that any answer that I give will be against my will.

...then, I'll wait until you're not affected anymore. If you tell me, I want it to be because you choose to, and not because you have to.

no subject
[it's only fair! soo-won (probably) wouldn't force someone else to answer a question, like this; his privacy should be respected, too.]
...do you have any idea what caused it?
no subject
I don't... I know that there are a few powers making people behave oddly this week - but there haven't been any leads on the cause. I've theorized that it might be the Leaders' powers - or the powers of other participants.
no subject
[...???]
I know some of them had powers before we came here, but... I'd heard those weren't working. Did some of them come back?
no subject
So I've been searching and thus far no one's offered me any additional information.
no subject
...how long has this been going on?
no subject
no subject
[and it's been A While. so it's probably not another item.]
no subject
That's why I ruled it out as an item - so it must be something else.
There are a few other oddities flying about this week, so I'd like to keep an eye on what they might be, and see if there's any reasoning behind them.
no subject
[haha, imagine if someone asked him if he'd killed anyone.]
no subject
If they do, slap your hand over my mouth so they can't hear my answer.

Okay!

It's not that I don't think you can handle it - but it's not as though it's enjoyable for you to be in pain, Yona.
