Anything is better than hiding away and not doing anything.

[digthefuzz]

What, does that make the rest of us cowards? It's... it's biding our time, sticking together and being on the defense! It sounds a lot better to me than running off on your own without any plan.

[avantguard]

I have a plan. I wouldn't do this if I didn't have one since it would be stupid, especially when lives are on the line.

[That serious expression of hers gives an inch.]

I never called anyone a coward, either. It's just impossible for me to sit around and wait to be saved. If there's something I can do, then I'll do it.

[digthefuzz]

[He looks at her for a moment, then he sighs and slumps his shoulders.]

...Fine. I guess I can't stop you.

[avantguard]

[HE CANNOT.

After all that.]

Will you be alright? You're making jokes to try and make things easier for everyone, aren't you?

[digthefuzz]

More or less... Yeah. [Especially including himself.]

If you turn up alright, I'll be alright.

[avantguard]

[Surprisingly, this is what makes her tense posture loosen and for Asuna to finally find some chill.]

Keep working hard, Kurt-san. I'd like to hear a good joke, someday.

[AKA she will turn up alright]

[digthefuzz]

[He responds a little weakly.]

Maybe it'll be when we get out of this place.

Because... it will be too cool for school.

[avantguard]

[It's not a laugh but she gives him a equally weak smile.]

I'll look forward to it, then.

[digthefuzz]

[He'll take that. Kurt feels powerless, but he also knows there's not much he can do. So he tries to salute her.]

Great. ...T-take care, then.

[avantguard]

[After a small pause, she lifts her hand in her own salute.]

You too.

[Then she turns and continues on DOWN THE HALL.]
