[ So it's probably good that she kept it general. Of course Parsee probably couldn't reach her friends at home. But Rinoa wasn't just thinking about them anyway; her thoughts were also on all the friends she's made here, too. Plus, the other is right - having her friend's blessing means that she's more able to help them too, both her friends here and at home.

The fire may not have sparked enough to completely burn the paper down, but it's a good enough start, and she finds a small smile on her lips as her friend pockets it again and reaches a hand toward her.

Is it just her imagination, or does she actually feel something pass from Parsee to her?

She nods. ]

Like this, I can help anyone. Everyone.

[bridge_princess]

[Something had definitely passed between them.]

Y...Yeah, that's the idea. I bless you, and you're better able to go out there and be that heroic type we both know you are.

[She was not going to admit that in the back of he head was the recognition that 'help everyone' meant Rinoa would probably help her as well. It did bring a little color to her cheeks, though. She tried not to be jealous of the other people Rinoa was bound to help. Tried and failed, but she did try.]

There's not a lot I can do, but none of us have whatever power we had normally so I guess it's something that I can do anything.

[pinwheels]

[ Rinoa nods, offering Parsee a small smile, even as she sees the color in her friend's cheeks. ]

I dunno, I feel like maybe these powers are kind of better than what you had before. But maybe that's just me, you know?

[ In her mind, blessing people is always better than cursing them! It's exciting to her that, no matter what strange things the Void has thrown at them so far, there's always the potential for people to improve somehow. ]

[bridge_princess]

[Cough, ahem. Her cheeks were heating up even more.]

Well, I mean... it's definitely more helpful to you than manipulating your jealousy. Other than reducing the envy inside of you, which isn't quite as important I'd think? Yeah, it's probably a more useful skill to have.

Not quite as 'powerful,' but it's definitely a lot less trouble.

[She was trying not to be embarrassed about it, but it was obvious she liked hearing that from her friend.]

[pinwheels]

[ Her response to the enhanced color is just to grin; sorry Parsee, but she's never been the type to hold back from voicing her thoughts just to spare someone from a little embarrassment! ]

It's not just helpful to me, you know. It's helpful to everyone, including you. Maybe if your powers are more positive, it'll help you to feel more positive too. Right?

[ Admittedly, she's not sure if that's exactly how it works, but... she kind of likes the idea of it. Otherwise it wouldn't be fair expecting Parsee to grow into something more positive if her own feelings remained clouded with jealousy. ]

[bridge_princess]

[At least, around here? It was related to how things worked because that's how the world understood it. It could be much more complicated in her world. But Watanuki's ritual had helped on top of that, so... her own mood did impact things.]

Y...You really want me to be able to be more optimistic don't you?

[She wasn't complaining, much. But she was always jealous of how sunny Rinoa could be, even if less than usual.]

[pinwheels]

[ The grin turns into something less cheeky, something warmer and more gentle as Rinoa nods, her eyes bright and shining. ]

Of course I do! Don't you remember? I told you that.

[ It was on the same day that she turned Parsee into what the other would later refer to as "a project". ]

I take these things kinda seriously, you know!

[bridge_princess]

Yeah... I know you do. [She coughed and shifted uncomfortably in her spot, glancing to the left and to the right.] And I know you're going to keep trying. It's what you do...

...

I should start cleaning up around here. Before Viridi comes squawking.

(OOC: Yeah, this is pretty close to a logical wrap point for the thread. I agree. ^-^)
