[Hat!! He doesn't hesitate to fish it out of the water, he's already soggy anyway. He tries his best to shake the water out of it, though he looks back at her with his head tilted.]

You do? Because I'm rare?

[Another thing he knows to be true thanks to Solas, not that he's ever met another spirit quite like himself.]

Because you're special. If we get down to it, Hashihime aren't exactly common and I might actually be the last one left around... [She breathed a little more easily as she said that. I was a nice thought.] So I'm "rare" in the sense that there aren't many.

A spirit of compassion is rare and important. Emotions like mine? They can solicit change, can bring chaos where it's needed, where it isn't. Sometimes things need to break down.

But... a world can't heal without people like you. So I worry.

[Sometimes things need to break down... so her "role" is important, even if envy isn't the nicest emotion.]

[He fidgets with the brim of his hat, idly trying to wipe some of the moisture away. As he said, it's strange that people worry about him now. But they worry because they assume he's a person, which can be harder for him to wrap his head around, the way things are. This is different. Parsee understands what he is, and worries in a way he can understand.]

I'll try to be careful. Thank you, for worrying. And for finding my hat.

[In a real sense he was one to her. But spirits had more personhood in Gensokyo. However, it was definitively the role that concerned her. Hopping down from the rock and motioning towards the light, she began to carefully pick her way down.]

I figure you will. But still gonna do it anyway, so I'm glad you're fine with it. This place... needs positive emotions, I think. Or it could go real bad.
