Who: Anyone!
Where: EVERY DORM
When: Day 146, early evening
What: time for door-to-door lawyer, part deux

[there is a cave lawyer with a journal and a bracelet knocking at your door!]

(Get lost, nearly starve to death in a cave for almost a week, and sleep for an entire day, and the population explodes. I really have to keep better track.)

She's with Summer and Amethyst, at the baths.

Do you want to talk to her too?

Ah, I see. I did, but it wasn't anything important.

If you're not in a hurry, they should be back soon.

If you don't mind. . .

I brought over some of the payment for your work. [reaches into his bag, grindgrind] I wanted to make another offer too, if you were interested.

[W-winces.]

Allen . . . your arm . . .

Huh?

Oh, it. . . [touches his arm with his other hand] I didn't think it was that noticeable. . .

What . . . ?

[twists it arounddd so his wrist is facing up]

I-it's just a little cracked! I think I can fix it, if I sync again, I just need to be in the right frame of mind, so.

[Takes him by the shoulders, careful of his injuries, and guides him down into one of their chairs.]

What frame of mind do you need?

[b-blink but goes along with it]

Um-- It's fine, you don't have to. . . I'm not really sure. I feel like there's something I've forgotten, but I can almost grasp it.

[Kneels in front of him, not so much taking his hands as letting them rest over hers.]

'Synching' . . . is that . . . in other words, harmony?

. . .[nods]

My Innocence. . . I don't think I fully understand everything about it. But we have to understand each other, in order to really act as one. It's easier for Exorcists like me, where it's a part of my body, but it's still not quite "me". . .

I feel like we could keep from being broken like this. But it's just a feeling, and that won't really cut it.

. . . if Allen's Innocence were regalia, right now . . . it would be 51%.

. . .[blinkblink]

Huh?

Harmonic synchronization. It's . . . the amount your 'sounds' agree.

. . . it was fifty, but it went up a percent, while we were talking.

. . .You can tell that kind of thing? I remember-- Hebraska told me a number like you just did, when I first joined the Order.

It was higher. . .

I can tell. If it were mechanical, I could fix it, but Allen's innocence . . . it's not something that has washers and screws.

. . .

Aah. . . no, you're right.

It actually got so low once that I couldn't sync up at all. I don't remember what fixed it yet. But I remember what the problem was. . .

What was it?

It was totally broken down. I was completely defeated.

[Looks down at his creaky, cracked hand, turning it over in hers, thumb brushing the skin beside the cross.]

After that . . . was your connection stronger, do you think?

[his hand twitches a bit, but he doesn't pull it away]

. . . After? Yeah. . .

The way it winds together with me, it wasn't like this before. It was just attached at one point, right here. [taps below his deltoids] I think as it is now, it's done evolving. . . I survived it being "destroyed" before, but I don't know if I'd be able to just separate from it again.

Maybe that's why I can still synchronize, even though my will is nothing like I once was and it's all the way down to fifty-one like this.

Your will?

Ah, yeah. It has a lot to do with that. An exorcist's will and heart. . . the Innocence can refuse it.

Or default it.
