6/9: Ion

[randori]

[ Some time after the trial, before any of them can get too far, Natsuo seeks one of the Ions out. Has he met this one before? Both of them? The same one three times...? He hates the fact that there are two— the fact that he has to think of them as two, instead of them being their own person.

After everything he said in the trial, he isn't even sure how to approach this again. So he does it with a stiff march up to Ion, hand straight out in a handshake. ]

Hi. My name's Natsuo.

[ Can't remember if they've met before? No problem. He will just scrap everything he's learned about either of them, and start everything all over again. ]

If that's the case, then I'll certainly try to remember that.

Faith in the strength of your convictions, then. [ his tone turns gently questioning, faintly curious. ] What else, is it, that you would rather me have faith in you for?

[randori]

Faith in... uh... um... Me? As a person? In general. [ There is no thinking involved in his person, so that's another matter entirely. ]

Believe in me when I make a promise, 'cause I won't ever break that promise.

[fonlines]

Well then.

Yes, I can believe in that. I look forward to seeing you demonstrate the truth of it, Natsuo.

[randori]

Good. That's how it should be— believe in me and trust in me.
