Well, we didn't get to decide what everything looks like.
I assume our area is just nicer since they don't want us to go, "Never mind, we want to not be babysitters anymore." Because then the chance of other cultists wanting this specific job instead gets lower-- no one wants to voluntarily stay somewhere sucky.
anyway she just gives them a look because yeah! no one wants to voluntarily stay somewhere sucky! imagine!]
So I guess that means we're a little lucky that way. We could have zero "babysitters." [and any help is better than none.] Do you think maybe in the future there could be a way to decide how things look?
Right. We did kind of ambush you on accident. [she will just come out and say it.] Is there really no way to push it back and try to make it less...this?
There really isn't a way we can contain the leeches to the water? If there's a ritual for bringing us here and keeping us here, maybe there's a smaller one for that.
And as an ecologist are you one of the ones who didn't have something like that back home...? [curious. it's not her business, perhaps, but she thinks maybe knowing the full extent of what the overseers can do might help with devising a plan.]
Well, I've never really met an ecologist before! [not in the general sense. we just have a lot of ecoterrorism in this house.] It's better to ask than assume, right? So I guess that means the powers we have right now can't compare too much.
[hm...]
Is finding our partner really the only way to boost our power? There isn't a chance to get back the things we're used to?
[she is politely keeping quiet about how she'd rather have her materia than imprint on people's brains but she's also aware she isn't using her power right.]
Maybe. [agree to disagree.] ...can our powers be used on you guys? Or other members of your cult?
Uh huh. Guess I'll just have to believe that for now. [she does not entirely believe it, but it's okay.]
...think the rest of them are in good shape for now? [she means the plants in the garden. i am going to free us so i can nab you for something new soonish /shakes in it being wednesday already.]

Why'd you pick this place to set up anyway? Convenience?

That's almost reassuring to know. [another glance around the garden.] Anything else you'd prioritize if you could only fix this space?
[this is more idle curiosity because she's like "well obviously pestilence would prioritize letting us leave if that was the option."]

Figure out a way to get people [ Karma ] to stop messing with the leeches.

It is, yeah. Even if something else turned up, I really doubt it would be preferable to this, Aerith.

Just you guys.
