... one of the Watchers told me that worlds may be at risk.

So I wish I could be a little more optimistic, but it's really difficult sometimes.

[aono]

Worlds?

[Yeah it's like his heart suddenly stopped there for a moment. That's how shocked he looks to be learning this.]

Like, our worlds?

[lefthandpath]

[he shakes his head]

I was a little too shocked when I heard it to ask specifics, but I plan to get clarification.

It was "some worlds". So even if it's not ours, it... could be like this place. And... it was only one Watcher. Maybe asking others about it--they might show favoritism, let a little more slip?

[aono]

Maybe. Even if they're angels they're bound to play favorites. Who were you talking to?

[lefthandpath]

Yomiel was the one who said it.

But, Rin, you really can't say who told you this. Okay? I don't know who all knows or if it's something that the Watchers are playing around with. I don't really trust that they don't know some of what's going on.

[aono]

...not even Yukio? Like, I get not trusting most people, they're all strangers. But Yukio's my twin brother and I've known him all of our lives, I know he's good for secrets. Hell, he's way smarter than me and could probably help you figure out more of this stuff.

[A short pause, and then:]

I won't tell him if you say no, I just wanna check on it first.

[lefthandpath]

I'd like to talk with him myself first, actually.

[a better sort of smile on his face now]

Since you said we had being an Exorcist in common.

[aono]

Okay. You tell him that stuff then. And maybe later we can have a meeting with the three of us too.

[Rin, wanting to play friends with Allen and Yukio.]

Oh, but uh, don't mention that I told you about the whole 'being a half-demon' thing. Or if he figures out I told you, tell him I told you because you're an exorcist too. I'm supposed to be keeping it a secret from everyone.

[lefthandpath]

... Rin, that's not making me comfortable about you keeping from telling people I told you things.

[aono]

I-it's fine! You need to know about that anyway, you're an exorcist!

[lefthandpath]

[he still looks unsure but ok.]

I suppose...
