buddy conversation - day zero

Who: Anna and Gundam
When: Day 0 after the buddy announcement

[Gundam is really not thrilled about having his life attached to someone else; it doesn't suit him at all. He's also not very thrilled about approaching someone he doesn't know out of nowhere. But he feels confident the buddy situation is one that has to be dealt with; he needs to know what kind of person wound up attached to his life very badly.

So...wherever Anna is, she will find herself receiving a note tied to the back of a hamster. It says:

Meet at the lake. There is much to discuss. Take care you are not followed, as we must not be seen conversing.

Good. I could not stomach being bound to one who would not fight for her own life. There is no avoiding it; we will have to fight with all of our strength. This idea that the killers will choose not to kill is flawed. But as long as there is power in me, I will not perish here. You must promise yourself the same.

You're right. As much as it pains me to say it...there's no guarantee that in this kind of situation, there won't be any attempts made on anyone's lives. But, still...

[She nods, resolute...]

If the situation calls for it, I don't intend to sit idly by with my life on the line. ...I may not seem it, but, I'm a lot stronger than I look. I can take care of myself, if need be. ...And that means I'm taking care of you, too, from now on. We're in this together.

Yes. It was in your profile.

[He wasn't doubting that.]

I trust you with responsibility for my life by virtue of trusting you with responsibility for your own. It is that simple.

Then I suppose it's only fair to trust you with the responsibility of mine. We take care of each other and we take care of ourselves. That's what you're saying, right?

I won't let you down, Mr. Gundam. I have faith in you.

Precisely.

[This makes him sort of uncomfortable, though. Awkward. Awkward.]

By the way, I possess here a number of comrades. For now, I believe it best to keep our association to ourselves, but I do...trust them. If there were ever any issue that made it necessary to do so, you could claim our buddyship to Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu. And in addition to him, there is Mahiru Koizumi, Peko Pekoyama, Ibuki Mioda, and Missile.

I figured you were friends with Missile. He's definitely an affectionate one...but, I've already met Ibuki. She's certainly a spirited girl...Her enthusiasm is really something else! And as for Mahiru, I'm in Elephant with her, so...
