[ Why slowly back away when you can turn tail and run. She does grab Weiss's hand to turn her around as she goes through, because she does want Weiss for help. She can't lose track of her. ]
[ That's one way to get out of the scene quickly. When the barrage of bananas come their way, a glyph immediately gets summoned behind them to shield them. Although some still end up on them, the back of Weiss' dress, fortunately not her hair.
Once they're in another hall, though, she's quick to peel of the banana stuck to her dress. ]
[ They don't exactly have a mind for Emerald to manipulate into thinking they're somewhere other than where they are, so she's pretty damn useless right now. She hides behind Weiss during it, and finds herself combing through her pigtails to get the sickly sweet fruit out. ]
If they were going to install monkey traps, they should've installed a shower too.
It's not.. strictly academic. But this place is an archive right? I need help finding information about traveling to other worlds or preserving memories.
[ And Weiss is way more likely to know how to find that information than Emerald is.. since Emerald's method of learning things is usually just obeying every word of whoever's teaching her. She's good at first-hand learning, not research and texts. ]
Well, the current plan is to figure out how to bind our souls to each other, but I guess that's a little intense and risky. That's the only thing that's seemed like it'll work so far, and besides unlocking their auras, I don't know how to make our souls interact.
[ A beat. ] But not in the shiny, new Prismatican archive we're standing in at all.
Bind your souls— [ Oh god, that sounds so ridiculous, and so risky! Weiss is still a little weirded out by the whole combining of souls that happens with the maidens, so this is just... full on crazy. The look she wears says it all, too. She's sure she doesn't need to blurt out that that's crazytalk for Emerald to understand. ]
Why, exactly, do you have to have your souls interact?
[ Emerald knows. THe look on her face says she knows. She has been Informed of it before and has seen the responses to Akashi's posts. She doesn't care. ]
If we bind them together, then whatever world we end up going to will be the same since they won't be able to separate us, right?
[ That's her understanding of the theory anyway. ]
Is that the only way to stay together, regardless of where you are?
[ It seems a little too drastic for her. ]
I don't think I want to research something so dangerous, but I'll look into how to follow someone to another world. I'm sure the Lunar Scientia have discovered a thing or two about why we're able to come here, anyway.
That's the only thing that's sounded remotely... workable, I guess. Everything else we hear is just from a bunch of people who are dead inside saying not to try because everyone loses each other when they're from different worlds. I'm fine with anything that works, so if you can help me find something else, I don't care how it happens.
[ She smiles though, despite the very pessimistic tone of that statement. ]
[ She hesitates for a moment. Not because Emerald has any trouble signing her life away for very small prizes, but because she's learned a lot since the last blank check she's signed. ]
It's a blank check if we find something. If not, I get to veto if it's not equal value to a study buddy session.
[ There's a big difference there. If Weiss makes it possible for her to be together with Akashi and Mayuzumi forever, then yeah. She'll happily do anything Weiss wants. But she's not going to lie and say she'll do anything in exchange for want ends up amounting to a library date. ]
I don't know much about you, but I know that amount of hair takes a lot of time to care for, so it's important to you.
[ Emerald also takes care of her hair!! But hers is way thinner and she only has small parts of it long, and it still takes a hecking long time to dry. ]
And you don't want to talk to me about fighting stuff because you're not going to like it with a bad guy, so I don't really know anything else about you.
[ So hair is the only thing she could possibly think they would have in common. ]

no subject
[ Enjoy a raised eyebrow, Weiss. Emerald isn't even.. sure how that would work.. or how you would moonlace to get out of it.. ]
no subject
[ Still... not really a good mental image. Or a good idea at all. ]
no subject
[ It's not a trap if you're just tied to something Weiss... ]
Still not a fate I want to deal with, I guess. [ She's just going to move on from this.. ]
Hey, you're good at research, right?
no subject
Research? I suppose if it's for academic purposes, then yes, I am.

no subject
[ Considering she just got back from her canon update and wants to know this, too? Emerald's hit up the right person. ]
Have you done anything so far with regards to this?

[ A beat. ] But not in the shiny, new Prismatican archive we're standing in at all.

[ ... This may be something she could use herself, too, so she doesn't mind, so long as Emerald doesn't complain about its slow progress. ]
I don't know what it is yet, but I'll let you know once I think of something.

[ You know!! Just saying.
Now that they've seem to have talked business, Weiss places a hand on her hip and looks around. ]
I think I should just head back. I need a shower.
