["Think about all the things over the last year for which you are most grateful"... That message had made her chest tighten. Sure, there were things she was grateful for, but she was pretty far away from a lot of those things at the moment. That was why she had decided to just sneak past all the festivities to grab a black notebook from her apartment and head off to the Butterfly Pavilion. She didn't really have a reason for going there, but it seemed as good a place as any, especially after sitting herself down in one of the corners of the park. If she could avoid unexpected company, all the better.

With a light sigh she cracked open the notebook and started making notes with her slightly large and looping handwriting. Every now and again she stopped to press the top of her pen against her lip and narrow her eyes as if she was figuring out a tough math problem, but before too long she would just get right back to writing as if nothing had happened. She had her limits though, and her eyelids were starting to get heavier and heavier in order to remind her of that.

...Maybe she could just rest her eyes for a moment. Just one. That wouldn't cause any problems, right?

And before she knew it she was fast asleep.]

[ Subaru's expression turns dark, and she can't even hide her eyes with her bangs if she dips her head, with the angle the girl is at. ] —I don't believe resisting more, even if it's together, is the way to go at all, Jane. The A.I. wields a lot of power. More than I can properly explain with all my experience with magic and technology combined.

It's really best for everyone if we just work together toward the same goal, along with Sentience, instead of against her. The gulf in between between someone like her, and ourselves, is too great. [ Here, she crouches and puts her hand on Jane's shoulder. Her face and tone try to convey the weight of her words. ] Please tell me you won't do anything reckless to oppose her. I really don't want to see you hurt.

	[Once again she was being told about not getting hurt; it was getting tiring, to be honest. Were people even taking her seriously? She couldn't help but wonder how Subaru would react if she spilled the beans about the whole saving the world thing.] Just what are you implying? Is she going to hurt me if I rebel?

	I'm not saying she'll threaten you! But we should all be careful. I've seen and felt what Acumen can do, and I don't know if the Engineers are under control. [ She frowns. ] If things have happened before, it's good to assume it can happen again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	... You're just giving more reasons to think that taking a more active role would be better. [Stubborn = very yes.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ This is awfully familiar. ]

I'm not trying to say that sitting by and doing nothing is the way to go, just... [ Subaru is just lacking words today. Perhaps she should have some sort of inspirational speech handy, or at least speak concisely, but her feelings are all over the place right now so it's hard to get them all out in order.

Finally, she settles on a soft, pleading expression. ] All I'm asking is that you're careful.

	[sighs and rubs the back of her neck.] Oh all right. If I die I'll never be able to get home, so it's in my best interest to be careful anyway. Just stop making that face at me already, will you? [...Uh.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ That seems to satisfy her, and she smiles so swiftly and brightly that you could hardly think she was bothered in the first place. ] Good! And thank you. [ Subaru steps back. ] I'll leave you to what you were doing, then, and I hope you have a good rest of the evening. Leave the talking to Sentience to me! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bye. [A sleepy wave. She made a mental note to check if all the partygoers had cleared out a little later.] Alright, I'll leave it to you then. I'll probably just end up yelling at her anyway. [Again.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Subaru nods and waves again. ] Bye-bye~ [ The skates reappear when she turns and takes her wide steps to leave, and then she rides off down the path out the pavilion. She feels a little odd after the talk, but if she managed to get Jane to listen to her even a little, it was worth it. No one needs to put themselves in danger if she can help it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
