Video | UN: ~*~Hagakure~*~

[mienai]

[Hagakure is doing alright! Sure, she had gotten stabbed last mission, but who here hasn't been stabbed by someone at some point in their careers? Exactly. She's already feeling much better and has been happily partaking in the festive atmosphere aboard the Ximilia. But there has been something on her mind, and a lot of people seem too nervous to talk about it. She can understand why; change is very hard, and their lives are all going to change in some way after this final mission — if they succeed at it, anyway.

They will, though! She knows they will. They can do anything they put their hearts to.

Or at least, the endless optimism in her says so.

At first, the screen seems empty. But once the shirt collar floats into frame, people will get that sneaking suspicion that it's probably the invisible teen hero that wanders about with enthusiasm.]

Happy Holidays! At least, I think it's the holidays? It's hard to know in space.

I've been enjoying it all with you regardless!

[And then, a handprint indents on her shirt, as she places her palm over her heart.]

Sometimes I feel a little like an intruder... Not that that's a bad thing! You're all just... You're so familiar with each other, and you take care of each other, and it's a really nice thing to see. Ahh, it reminds me a little of my friends at home...

[She misses them, but they would understand how important it is that she see this through.

It's a hero's job!]

Um... I had wanted to ask... Because, well, I'm just a little worried. About all of you. Is everyone... you know... going to be okay? Once this is all over. Will you all be able to... go home? Safely? Or — maybe stay here, if... that's a better option?

I know we're all from different places. Some are scarier than others, so...

[You don't have to see her face to know the earnest sound of concern, at least.]

[ Shinn is incorrectly reading her concern as Hagakure maybe not wanting to go home herself, so this gets a furrowed brow and a small frown. ]

Why? Is everything okay at home?

[mienai]

O-oh, no no no! Everything is fine for me!

[Her sleeves flop as she fans her hands dramatically in front of her.]

I'm just worried about you guys...! Are you all going to be okay, returning home?

I know not everyone is as lucky as me, being able to leave here without any problems...

[lostdestiny]

[ It’s really hard to tell over video whether an invisible girl is really okay or if she’s just saying that so he won’t worry! Shinn’s frown only eases a little bit. ]

We’ve got plenty of problems, but they’re problems that I said I’d fix.

[ Also he has to steal Athrun’s ride and get in a swordfight and attend a wedding or whatever is happening in this movie. ]

[mienai]

And you know you can fix them? Those problems?

You have people who can help you, right?

[It sounds horrible, to have to handle things by yourself.

If she at least knows her crew won't be alone after this...]

[lostdestiny]

[ Shinn flinches visibly. There was once a very convincing guy who said he could stop world conflict, but that plan involved dystopian determinism and one too many superlasers. The current approach involves fewer superlasers but honestly a lot more winging it… ]

I didn’t say I knew how…! And anyway, I can’t leave Luna!

[mienai]

Oh...! Who's Luna?

[FESS UP, SHINN.]

[lostdestiny]

My girlfriend.

[ Shinn’s face lights up in a way that Ximilia usually does not get out of him. He is very proud to say that Luna is his girlfriend, not in a braggy way but simply because Lunamaria is the best! They beat things up together. ]

[mienai]

YOUR GIRLFRIEND!

How cuuuu~uuute! Tell me all about her, Shinn-kun!! Tell me, tell me!

[lostdestiny]

Luna is... she's brave, and a great pilot, and she's always making sure that people are okay, even when she's hurt. I don't know what I'd be doing without her.

[ And she didn't punch him out that time that they thought he killed her sister. Oops. ]

[mienai]

Uwaa... You're so good at complimenting her! She's so lucky!

Is she totally absolutely beautiful?

[lostdestiny]

Obviously.

[ Obviously that Luna is gorgeous, this is one of the first times he's been told that he's good at compliments. ]

... are you old enough for boyfriends?

[ He's not really much older than she is, but he's stuck her in a "little sister" mental bucket.... ]

[mienai]

Of course I am! What kind of question is that? Look at me!

[... right...]
