Seijuro thinks if we bind our souls together we should be able to do it, but I don't think he's had any luck figuring that out... because if we do that, we should remember each other. Or at least find each other again and feel a connection.
[ Because she knows how impossible it is. She doesn't want to hear it. It's just as impossible as beating Salem and more possible than being happy in Remnant, so she'd rather try. ]
What do you mean? Mercury wants to stay here, he doesn't want to go back either.
[ Neither of them are happy back home. She rubs her arm for a moment, glancing at the door briefly instead of Weiss, then back to her. It's not like this is a comfortable conversation. ]
He and I already talked about it, he's mostly worried I'm going to get Sei and Chihiro killed for betraying Salem. [ Though more for her sake than theirs. ] And Cinder...
[ She trails off for a moment. ] You don't want to hear about her, so I'll leave it at that.
[ ..A minor deflection there. After all, she doesn't really want to share how Mercury doesn't think Cinder would miss Emerald for even a second. But in Emerald's mind, they're all she really has. It's not like she really knows Hazel, even if he's nice enough. ]
[ No, fuck that, she WANTS to know?? What the fuck!! But Emerald's not giving her anything. It doesn't sound like good news, though.
This sounds like this is something she'd better ask Mercury. Good lord, why is she thinking of talking to him again after what happened last month??? This is awful. ]
Well, good luck with your... endeavours. [ She's not exactly excited to go back, but she's not telling Emerald that?? That would just be weird. She's only told one other person about it. ] I'm coming back next week. If you need Suzie to shut up, just shoot me a look and I'll yell at her.
[ She's being considerate! Or trying. Weiss of all people probably would just tell her the same thing Mercury and Akashi would............. but also like. She remembers Weiss getting skewered so it's not like she's unaware that there are negative feelings there.
Emerald lets a little laugh at the comment about Suzie. She's happy for the topic change. ]
She's the actual worst. One time she came in here yapping about not knowing how anyone survives without regular juice cleanses and I just wanted to tell her that our brains actually work.
My paycheck depends on how many people are in the class.
[ A beat, then she adds ] Plus, she's got such ridiculous drama. You haven't lived until you've seen someone storm out of a room screaming about her hairstylist ruining her entire life because she found one strand of gray on her yoga mat or storming in in the middle of a fight with her boyfriend who she thought that he was cheating on her with her best friend, but it was really his secret twin that he didn't even know about.
I think she seeks it out, though. Like, you saw her today. She always tries to pull that "I'm just being helpful" bullying when she's trying to corner people and she thinks I'm not paying attention. I'm not sure if she thrives on drama or just has it coming.
[ So long as Emerald keeps her actual classroom the 'safe space' from that, she's pretty sure most people are feeling better about themselves because at least they're not that much of a mess. ]
They start a half hour after ours ends, and Barry sucks so I'm not worried about his class.
[ Barry: judgy vegan bunny man who believes meat is murder and anyone who eats it is a murderer and that being loud and proud (obnoxiously refusing to accept criticism) is part of a healthy lifestyle. Emerald's work nemesis.
Even so, Emerald goes to gather her stuff finally-- namely the projector and her own yoga mat and her device, which she was running the projection on. She turns airplane mode (or whatever the equivalent is) off so she can get messages and stuff again. ]

[ Why would you want to bind your soul with someone else's... what if things mess up in between and you lose your identity? God forbid. ]
What's going to happen to everyone else if you leave them, though?
[ Like Mercury and that big guy who looks like a tree. (Hazel.) ]

From what you've told me? It's probably a mix of both.
[ There's not really much she can say anymore, though. She mostly just approached Emerald for a polite "hi" and a little bit of small talk. ]
Is there another class that's going to be using the room? We might be holding up some people outside.

But with Emerald packing up, she goes to do the same. ]
