We fought last time, too.

[thankyouverymooch]

... I suppose so.

[seldomseen]

U-ryu... But this time, no one else fought at all. Is it because you're tired of fighting?

[thankyouverymooch]

I don't have something to fight for, this time.

[seldomseen]

Not even your friends?

[thankyouverymooch]

Leo and I agreed we'd be ready to sacrifice each other if need be. So long as we make certain to do everything we can to protect our own teams.

[seldomseen]

... Uryu. That's still... a little sad, isn't it...?

[thankyouverymooch]

Is it...? The way I see it, it's a sign of respect.

[seldomseen]

Respect? ... But how?

[thankyouverymooch]

—Little Lion!

[but we were having such a good conversation

also trying to get some candy from dragon jeez]

Uryu?

[thankyouverymooch]

[ YELLING AT ]

Don't take decisions on your own—! Aren't we supposed to be a team!?

[seldomseen]

[f-flinches and flattening his ears, shrinking back]

... Not if we choose Cardinal.

[thankyouverymooch]

You aren't just disrespecting Sunshine by doing that—! What about Izzie and Gil!? This isn't the kind of game where you can just do that!

[seldomseen]

[oh...]

... Sorry. Didn't think. Next time... it can be Byzantium.

[thankyouverymooch]

I'm not the one you should apologize to.

It doesn't matter how long we fight for so long as we're discussing things together, Little Lion. But if one of us takes the decision on their own it's not hurting just one teammate, it's hurting everyone. Who's to stop Gil and Izzie to do the same when it's you who agreed to put your feelings aside in favor of someone else?

This isn't something to take lightly.

... There's nothing stopping them. This time, there was nothing stopping Sunny, either. I just said something first. If they want to... then, they can.

Didn't have to be Sage. Just couldn't be Cardinal.

[thankyouverymooch]

Because you got mad at Sunshine? This isn't how you solve these sort of discussions.

[seldomseen]

[... shakes his head...]

Not mad.

[thankyouverymooch]

Then what? Shutting down your teammates to prove a point is also wrong.

[seldomseen]

... I know. I know it was wrong. But, I still did it. ... I'll get in trouble later, but it can't be helped. Uryu...

[thankyouverymooch]

Do you understand why it was wrong?

[seldomseen]

Because it was selfish and greedy...

[thankyouverymooch]

No. It's because decisions are to be taken as a team.

[seldomseen]

... So even if only a few people are happy, that counts as deciding as a team?
