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

Or default it.

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

What does 'default' mean?

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Just that. The failure to fulfill the promise you made as an exorcist. Below zero synchronization, probably.

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

I only saw it once. . .

I hope I never see it again.

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

If that's the result of failure . . . would success do the opposite?

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

You mean normal synchronization?

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Shakes her head.]

Keeping your promise.

This little one . . . it's your heart and will, isn't it? That it responds to. If it can refuse . . . isn't 'synchronization' when it accepts?

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .

Yeah. . .

Though there's still a lot I don't get. . . it's acted completely on its own, too.

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Here? Or in your memories?

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Both.

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

So . . . it has its own will, too.

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. Though what it wants the most I think, isn't here.

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Purpose . . . isn't it?

Even if you're partners . . . the world it belongs in is far away.

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . . Yeah.

[takes a deep breath]

That low, huh. . .

Re: [Pavo]

. . .

Feathers?. . .

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

It's a number to help you fix it. Not to make you sad.

. . . maybe it's just a feeling, but . . . even if it looks worse outside, somehow . . . this little one doesn't seem like the part that's unstable.

It's Allen himself. Just . . . the cracks are inside, instead.

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .

Aah, I know. That's how it works.

I'll figure things out.

You will.

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

--! You finished it!

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Complete and delivered!

Re: [Pavo]

[takes it carefully, smiling]

Oh, wow, this looks fantastic. You really are amazing.

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Ahh . . . Allen didn't see the ones that didn't work out, so . . .

Re: [Pavo]

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Still. It's perfect. Thank you so much.

Aah, I wanted to trade for something else too, if you're interested - since that'll stock you for salt, we have a lot of bone and leather, would that be useful?

Re: [Pavo]

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

They would be, if you have some to spare.

What do you need?
