[At first an umbrella appears on the feed and it seems to be moving with some regularity. After a few moments, it stops and is lifted, slightly showing Leon's face as his gaze looks up at the building.

After a moment, he realized the feed was on and shook his head.]

Who ordered this weather?

[And in the next moment, the rain stopped and a sigh came from the warrior.

This place is just crazy sometimes.

[Leon went to open his mouth, but ended up just shaking his head.]

I hope you're right.

[kree_soldieress]

It is good to have hope. It keeps us trying to improve things.

[heartofalion]

[There was a small smile.]

Hope might work better if the right people do it.

[kree_soldieress]

The right people?

[heartofalion]

People who have hope.

[Even in ridiculous measures, like Sora.]

[kree_soldieress]

You don't have hope?

[Oh no, this is so sad. Alright then, Lauri-Ell is going to have to help him, isn't she? To teach him hope. Yes, she has a new goal.]

No, of course you have hope. We'll just have to make it stronger!

[heartofalion]

Not like you do.

[Her faith reminded him of Aerith in a sense. And he couldn't help but laugh very slightly at Lauri-Ell's next words. Yup, that sounded like Aerith alright.]

You do that.

[kree_soldieress]

[Aerith was a good person!]

I shall. It will be a good project for us both!

[heartofalion]

[Leon had to laugh slightly and shake his head.]

That's one way to look at it.

[kree_soldieress]

How else would you look at it?

[heartofalion]

[He sighed.]

I really don't know.

[kree_soldieress]

Then we will figure it out together!

[heartofalion]

Not sure how you really plan to figure this out.

[kree_soldieress]

I will research it!

[heartofalion]

You're gonna research how to give people hope?

[That came out in an astonished sort of tone. Why would she even do that for him?]

[kree_soldieress]

Of course!

[She smiles widely at his question, like it was silly to even ask.]

[heartofalion]

[Now he's concerned for her.]

You don't think it's a waste of time or anything?

[kree_soldieress]

Of course not. There is no time wasted in helping those we care for!

[heartofalion]

[Leon is uncharacteristically at a loss for words even if he manages two.]

I see.

[kree_soldieress]

I am glad. We shall achieve what we need to together!

[heartofalion]

[He's not sure what to make of Lauri-Ell at this moment.]

Ya, sure.

[kree_soldieress]

wonderful. I shall begin my research.

[heartofalion]

Keep me posted.
