No. I hate him. [VEHEMENTLY] I'm stuck with--

[--? He pauses, lifting a hand to rub at his eyes.]

--I mean, I'm glad I'm not stuck with him anymore. The sooner I can get back to the Order and on another mission, the better.

[ ashlyn just goes: ok i'll take your word for it! ]

Do you usually get to work alone, then?

[sixillusions]

I try. [Technically the answer is no because there's at least one other person there but he doesn't count them for reasons] But I don't pick my assignments.

[killies]

That makes sense. So they probably make you work with more people on harder assignments.

[sixillusions]

Mm. Non-exorcists can't kill Akuma, so they have to try and keep us alive.

[Which typically means rolling out as a team... easier to not die when there's at least one other person watching your back.]

[killies]

What makes someone an exorcist?

[sixillusions]

Innocence. [He glances at his sword.] It resonates with certain people, and they become accommodators. It can't be forced.

[killies]

Is it just random?

[sixillusions]

Seems like it.

[If there's a pattern, he has no clue what it is.]

[killies]

Sounds like it would be hard to have enough, then.

[sixillusions]

It is.

[They are losing this war so damn bad]

[killies]

Maybe there are more and you just don't know where they are? How do you find people?

[sixillusions]

[He doesn't respond right away, because he's gauging how lazy he's feeling... he's so bad about explaining things this is Lavi's job]

The Generals. [He settles on, eventually.] And luck.

[killies]

Huh... Well, I hope you find more, then...?

[He nods in acknowledgment... and proceeds to not ask her anything about herself in return because he's fucking useless, but I'm telling myself it's okay so I can free us up for the weekend :') I LOVE YOU ASHLYNNNN]
