[She's relieved at his answer. As long as he honestly likes it here, she won't try to shake him loose. She smiles quietly, coming to stand beside him with her hands resting on the countertop.]

I'm glad. I just didn't want you to commit yourself to something you didn't like if it was only for my sake. I guess that's a little self-centered to assume.

[Orihime grins apologetically and rubs the back of her neck for a moment.]

But I could have done more. I should have. That other me was afraid of something that was a slim possibility, and you suffered for it. It's not something I'm proud of, Strife-san.

[Her shoulders rise and fall with an exhalation of breath.]

That reality never happened, though. Even if Aizen appeared in this place, I'm beneath his notice. The only reason he showed any interest in my powers was because he knew my friends would come after me if I was in trouble. He divided the forces that would stand against him and made an attack. Here, he wouldn't have any resources but his own abilities to alter people's perception of reality.

[She cups her hands together, leaning on her forearms.]

Kurosaki-kun defeated him too, even when Aizen had the upper hand. If he did show up here, I'm not worried about it. So you shouldn't be either. Okay?

[Cloud wasn't about to try and change her mind about what she could have done for him when he was injured. many reasons came to mind, but it also came down to one simple fact. that wasn't truly her. just like Yang wasn't truly herself when this all happened in the first place. Cloud knew a thing or two about not being his true self...and what it did to the people that he loved. but that was a conversation for another day. for another time.

this was now. and as Cloud intently listened, everything that she said made perfect sense. so he dealt in illusions... it struck a chord with the swordsman, perhaps a little too deeply. and when she speaks of Aizen in how they altered people's perception of reality, a light frown may have marred his lips. but it doesn't linger for very long when he finds his voice again]

Well, if not Aizen... [his mind was made up already. there's a small, confident smile from her employee] I'll just look out for you because we're friends.

[She can tell that he's thinking deeply about something. She's not sure what it is, but she doesn't try to interrupt him. Whatever it is he has to say, she'll give him all the time he needs to say it.]

[When he does speak, she smiles. She's glad she waited.]

As long as I can do the same!

[Whatever uncertainty she felt before, it's gone now. That confident smile of his works wonders for putting her worries at ease.]

Let me finish up here. Go have fun at the festival, okay?
