[ he feels around in his sleeve for a moment, and produces his own coin. ]
I’ve been thinking about why - we cannot see each other’s alignments, no? But if somehow, someone established a work around…. It may explain why I have none and you have marks. Unless it has to do with - goodness, I don’t know, killing someone? But I highly doubt that you’ve done such a thing, and I certainly haven’t. Even then, if it did, you and I have both participated in executions, so….
[ a little shrug of his shoulder. ] If so, I don't mind so much. I have shared with two people this week, so you would be the last one I could share with.
It's quite alright. I can promise you, I am not easily swayed by a creature who makes false promises. I'd sooner let it kill me before I harmed another.
[ sometimes you are just full of justice!!!!!!!! ]
But, my team is likely very obvious. Would you like to guess?
[ oh!!!! he looks quite happy, clasping his hands together. ]
How wonderful! I'm glad to hear it. Is it only you who has such a mark...? Or are you hoping to get one on the coins of each member of our team? Is it visible to those who are not Celestials?
I think there might be more. It sounds like someone was doing this to look for us. Wanting to get the team together. I don't know who it is, though. Only that it was a hint.
Anyone can see it, so I'm trying to be quiet about it. I've only shown you and one other. I didn't tell them what it meant, either.
[ ... he frowns, though, some of the joy fading. ]
.... What happens if someone asks to show our coins at trial? No one did, this week, but... if several members of our team have the same symbol, it will surely arouse suspicion.
At this point, I think it might be useless checking coins anyway. People use powers through the week and unless we're checking them as a group every day, it's meaningless. And people are starting to get powers back from home...
That might be a way to stop checking coins. It's also why I wanted to be the one opening my room at the trial.
...While that is true, I'm not entirely sure you will be able to convince the majority.
[ xie lian puts his hand to his chin. ] I don't mind backing you up on such a thing, but... I wonder if there is a way to make an exchange with Suriel or one of the other Celestial watchers to make it so that only other Celestials could see it.

Logically, it makes sense.

Maybe. This team thing... worries me. It's not that I don't trust you, but... If something is forcing us...

[ a little smile. he pats kotetsu’s hand. ] It is alright - there’s no pressure. I can check in with a few others, and see what I might find.
You did say it appeared, no? That it wasn’t marked on by someone else?
no subject
Who knows? I talked to a lot of people on that day.

I see! Well.
[ fufu. ] Perhaps you already have the answers you need, by asking me such a thing.

If I were to share my team... Would you answer first?

Suriel gave me the mark.
[ no reason to hide that now! ]
I'm also a Celestial. Sorry for hiding that I knew what it meant. I don't want it getting in the wrong hands.

But that might not be a bad idea. It'd make it a lot easier to work with.
