[Psii has heard BR express this opinion before. Still doesn't agree with it, but doesn't want to argue.]

And after war, world will need help rebuilding. It's true that will be allowed to stay if wish to, correct?

[shiromadoushi]

I hope so... [[carefully cuts a wedge of pancake as he speaks.]] There are a lot of people with no where to go after...

[[Quite of number of them being his close friends...]]

[00110010_00110011]

Even if weren't dead, would argue for being allowed to stay in strongest possible terms.

[Would Shibusen really let someone help them win war, then send back to servitude? Psii has inherent distrust of government, but doesn't believe they'd be that cruel.]

If had to fight in war to be allowed to stay, would definitely do it.

[shiromadoushi]

[[nods]] Un... Almost everybody's made friends here... to be forced apart from them... [[trails off, shaking his head]] I want to stay here with everybody. I'm sure BREW can manage it, even if it takes another wish.

[00110010_00110011]

All friends from home are also dead.

[If Psii had to give up own chance of staying for SS and Dii to be able to, he would, though luckily doesn't think wishes BREW can grant work like that.]

Is definitely incentive to help end war more quickly.

[Rosa was sent away. In time, others might be, too.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[There's always something in that thought that hurts deep inside when it comes up. Bakura had been lucky to be able to save his friends... for Psii...

He nodded]]

Otherwise if we all get sent home when it ends, why try and end it? [[His smile is pretty faint at that]]

[00110010_00110011]

Would be incentive to prolong war, for those who know have nothing to go back to.

[He notices BR's expression.]

Do you need to talk about something else?

[shiromadoushi]

Aaaa-- no, no, it's all right! [[The laugh is a touch forced as he wrenches him self out of those thoughts, rubbing the back of his neck.]]

Sometimes... I just wish there were ways to change things so the people I care about won't have to have suffered so much...

[00110010_00110011]

Think most people would like that ability.

[Psii knows he would.]

Are you still looking for partner?

[shiromadoushi]

[[Nods]] Un... I'm starting to think I'm doing something wrong with it, though. [[admits a bit sheepishly]] Since I'm having so much trouble!

[00110010_00110011]

[Psii thinks can help, and is glad to return favor after BR helped him so much.]

What is problem? Trouble finding someone to attempt resonating with, or difficulty when do try?

[shiromadoushi]

[[Fear of loss and being hurt again, but hell if he's aware of that]]

More the first. I've only had trouble resonating with two people, where one it was like the other person wasn't even there and the other just... felt like when you have two magnets that won't go together. But other than those, it's always gone well enough...

[[a small hesitation]] It just... seems like even when I do find someone I can work with.... [[He prods lightly at the last wedge of pancake a moment]] I either don't seem much of that person after or something else comes up... [[like Takuto insisting that he tell Yuugi about his crush. Which wasn't ever going to happen.]]

[00110010_00110011]

You know have only tried once. Difficulty came in having to learn how to filter thoughts as needed to do it. Is impossible to practice.

[Which isn't very helpful.]

Are all subject to BREW's whim. Think it has just been unlucky for you. You have talent for getting along with people. Shouldn't be too hard for you to find partner if just keep looking.

[shiromadoushi]

The practice is just to do it, right? Like most anything else here.

[[and there's a bit of a faint smile there. Why would Death City be different than any other place he's been? The only difference was that it wasn't a coma and then rumors that stole away his friends, but the whims of a magical item.

... and even that wasn't so different. BREW's whims didn't result in him being hated and shunned, however, which was a huge improvement. So that the few friends that stayed were still his friends...

He realized he was starting to mutilate the pancake wedge with his fork.

Refocusing, he gently speared the piece and popped it in his mouth, chewing silently for a moment]]

Just have to keep trying, right? [[and he's all smiles as if the subject hasn't been bothering him at all.]]

[00110010_00110011]

Yes, have to figure out what works best by trying it. Suspect every pair of weapon and meister is slightly different.

[Psii is reasonably sure nutrition tine isn't supposed to be used that way.]

Becomes more statistically likely you'll find good partner if try resonating with large number of potential partners.

[shiromadoushi]

[[Bakura nods]] Yeah, they are. Sort of like how friendships are different. Some friends you can relax around while others are best if you don't so much.

[aaaand he's poking at a blueberry now, looking almost as if he's trying to stab it with his fork but failing miserably.]]

[00110010_00110011]

[Psii can't keep from asking about that.]

By way you're mutilating Earth fruit, think you must know this from experience.

[Psii is hardly ever relaxed, though comes closest to it around SS.]

[shiromadoushi]

Eh? [[Looks down and almost drops his fork as he realizes he's doing that again.]] Aaa.... it's not-- I mean...

[[and his shoulders slump as he sets the fork down and looks to the side, utterly embarrassed and feeling caught]]

Sort of...

[00110010_00110011]

Is this sort of thing that gets better if you talk about?

[Psii knows some things don't, but can't always tell what falls into that category for other people, especially humans.]

[shiromadoushi]

I don't know... [[it's a soft, quiet admittance.]] Things... have been complicated.

[00110010_00110011]

[This sounds as if BR wants to talk about it, so Psii tries to make encouraging expression, and takes another bite of pancake.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Bakura hesitates a bit more before looking down at his place]]

There's... a friend that I know I can resonate well with... but he likes to dual wield, which is fine, since the other person is another friend of mine too! ... but my friend who's the Meister won't let me work with them unless I confess to my other friend... [[finishes in a very very soft voice, almost afraid of being overheard.]]

[00110010_00110011]

[Why is BR's volume decreasing so dramatically?]

Unless you what?

[shiromadoushi]

[[Looking just... so uncomfortable. Maybe this was a bad idea.]]

Unless I tell him I like him.... [[Still said very softly because, well. what is someone hears.]]

[00110010_00110011]

Is your friend. Wouldn't he assume you--

[Oh. Realization hits belatedly, and Psii lowers own voice as well.]

You're talking about human romance?
