[nightwild]

To make a better, more just world.

[IMMEDIATE.... even if her face is being smushed.]

[amorevolous]

And we do that by connecting people! By putting them through hardships to test their bonds and make them come out stronger than ever...! Don't tell me you haven't been listening to me when I explain it?!

[ STAAAAAAARE. ]

[nightwild]

Of course I have!

[Her ears droop.]

But I don't need to connect with anyone but you, Lady Lambda.

[amorevolous]

That's no good at all, Fauna!

[ She gets a disapproving finger waggle! ]

I might be your most precious person [ SHE REALLY JUST CAME OUT AND SAID THAT, HUH ] but humans like you need to connect with each other to survive! It's how you find real happiness!

[nightwild]

[SHE REALLY JUST CAME OUT AND SAID THAT....

... unfortunately, that confidence and honesty is part of why Fauna likes her so much.]

I don't want that kind of happiness. There's no way I'd ever fit in or be wanted by humans, anyway.

That's why it's best if I just stay with you.

[amorevolous]

Oh, Fauna. You really are a sweetheart, aren't you? But that won't do.

[ She reaches out and quite presumptuously cups Fauna's face in her hands. Her smile's just as warm as it ever is, but there's something a little cold under it. ]

There's nothing quite as sad as someone holding onto one-sided feelings, after all.

[nightwild]

[JESUS.

Fauna looks crushed for a moment, but quickly rallies, holding firm even with Lambda cupping her face...]

It's fine if that's all it is. I don't need anything more.

[amorevolous]

No, no, of course you do! After all – I might be your most precious person, but you can never be mine. I love all humans, after all!

[ She giggles pleasantly, as if this is not an absolutely heart crushing thing to say. ]

So I'd like nothing more than to find someone who'll be able to love you as their very own most precious person. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

[nightwild]

[Fauna is, of course, crushed. But at the same time... That grand nature, able to love all of humanity. Isn't that part of why Fauna is so devoted? Why should she be crushed by the same nature that drew her to her in the first place?

The conflict in her heart is complicated... so instead she chooses to ignore it and pretend she's fine.]

... I already know. A person who would love me like that doesn't exist. That's why I can devote myself to our cause so readily.

[amorevolous]

That's what you think. But you don't understand love like I do, do you?

[ She finally releases Fauna's face and sets her hands on her heart. Her expression turns soft and wondrous, like she's been given a rare and special glimpse of something magical and whimsical.

It's the sort of smile she's never directed at Fauna. ]

Everyone loves someone. And everyone's so different...! So surely, in all those billions and millions of people– surely there should be a person who's capable of loving you!

[nightwild]

... I can't imagine anyone like that. No one I'd want to love, anyway.

[She looks away.]

But... Doesn't that mean there should be someone you love more than anyone else, out there, too?

[amorevolous]

[ Lambda giggles. It's the way you might laugh when someone's innocently asked a foolish question, like she's charmed by how pure and naive the very idea is. ]

Of course not! I told you, I love all humans. So that means I can't pick and choose and favour one or two above somebody else.

[ If she knows that this is a lie, she doesn't show it in any way. ]

Besides – it's humans who bond with each other through strife and hardship. You're not forgetting that I'm not human, are you?

[nightwild]

No, but...

[She twitches one of her ears for emphasis.]

I'm not sure I count as human anymore, either.

[amorevolous]

The outside might be different, but what's in here–

[ She reaches out and presses a hand to Fauna's sternum – a little too hard. ]

– is the same, don't you think? You still have a human heart that goes ba-bump, ba-bump. ♥ You can't get rid of that so easily!

[nightwild]

I guess not, but...

[She looks down.]

I still... don't want to be with other humans.

[amorevolous]

Maybe so. [ She ducks down a little, so Fauna can't look away – so Lambda's face is filling her vision completely. ] But you're afraid of being alone, right?

But if humans are no good... hm, that changes things...

[nightwild]

I'm not afraid!

[Yes, she is. But she protests, but she can't look away....]

Changes things... how?

[amorevolous]

[ Lambda's saccharine smile grows just that bit brighter. ]

If you can't stand to be alone, that means you need somebody to be with. Right? And it has to be someone who'll treat you as if you're more precious than anybody else. That's the sort of thing you'd need to heal your heart.

But you're saying that humans are no good. So, we need to find someone who isn't human who'd be able to love you. That's a pretty big change!

[nightwild]

[Her voice is soft. Weak. Betraying just how hurt and scared she's feeling right now...]

And that person... No matter what, it can't be you?

[amorevolous]

Mmm... I could try, but...

[ Again, she reaches out to play with a little of Fauna's hair – whether affectionately or in a careless, thoughtless sort of way, it's hard to tell. ]

What you want is someone who'll love you more than anyone else, right? Who'll stop at nothing to make you and only you happy?

[nightwild]

... I don't know.

[And it's truthful, as she admits that.]

What I want is someone I can trust completely. Who I can believe in, no matter what, who won't betray me...

[amorevolous]

Mm... I see.

[ Her smile turns more thoughtful - it's not cruel exactly, but there's a calculating edge to it. Like a computer running dispassionately through an algorithm, combing through its datasets to come to the optimal end result. Sometimes, it's easy to forget that Lambda isn't as human as she pretends to be but at times like this, it becomes frighteningly apparent. ]

You know that I'll never betray you. And you know that I'll always make you happy. I'll love you, just as much as I'll love any other human I come across. But you'll never be my one and only and if I come across another human who needs my help as much as you do...

[ She lets the sentence trail off and the lock of Fauna's hair spills from her hand in turn. ]

Would that be enough to make you happy?

[nightwild]

[Would it make her happy? She imagines it. Being loved by Lambda... but never enough. Never betraying her, but never giving her her full attention.

... Would it make her happy?

It couldn't. But could anything else? So she swallows that.]

Of course. Lady Lambda is my everything, after all.

[amorevolous]

Alright then! ♥

[ Lambda promptly clasps Fauna's hand tight in both of hers and holds it to her heart, like she's cradling something precious. ]

If this is what will make you happy, then I'll love you. I'll never betray you. And I'll keep on loving all humans so you can believe in me until the end – even if it means I can't love you more than anyone else.

That's your happiness, right, Fauna?
