[Ah, a true prince. She takes it and wipes her face]

Truly, Young Tsukasa thy's kindness is incomparable.

[ she is Moved]

[aspirings]

[While she does that, he'll go hunting for a broom to start sweeping this mess up.

And with broom in hand, of course he will strike a pose.]

But of course! How could I be an ever-reliable big brother and upperclassman if not for that?

[Beaming!!!

And now he'll come over to start sweeping up the flour.]

[laestrella]

Verily, thy actions prove thine self worthy of that title.

[ Once Tsukasa has the broom and she's less flour coated, she'll get the mop and bucket. Cleaaann]

[aspirings]

[Oh, he's delighted by that praise most of all... beaming!!!

But.

As they start to clean, he hesitates, and then with earnest concern:]

Are... you alright, by the way? A... lot happened earlier.

[laestrella]

I am well in body and my mind is clear. Thank thee for asking

[ Mop mop mop. Hm.]

...did mine actions trouble thee?

[aspirings]

[He bends to scoop up whatever's left of that bag of flour, carefully rolling the top of it closed.

Hm...]

Well, I was definitely worried...! It, er... it... was a bit surprise.

But then you ran off, and it seemed like you got the worst of it, so... I was worried.

[laestrella]

[...She reach up on her tippytoes and pat Tsukasa's head. Good boy]

...truly, thou art kind. I am...managing, as best I can. The shame of what I hath wrought on everyone cannot be erased so I must merely do mine best to make amends.

[aspirings]

[Oh.

He obediently ducks his head for the heat pats, amused by them despite the situation. That's usually his role, so... it's cute to have it flipped on him.]

There was no way for you to know it would be like this. You're not at fault!

[laestrella]

[She's got centuries on you!! Technically, she should have always been the big siter so it's about time she got to play this role]

...maybe so, but a Fixer doth not look away from their mistakes. So I shall taketh these lessons to heart and apply them wisely.

[aspirings]

[...]

What is a "Fixer", exactly?

1/3

[laestrella]

Did thou...truly ask me...what is a fixer?

2/3

[laestrella]

[tears in her eyes]

I am moved by your keen curiosity for no one hath ever asked me before--

[laestrella]

UOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH!!! Verily, I shall giveth a lecture into the history of Fixers within the City-!

[passion: unlocked]

A Fixer is a figure of justice and hope all throughout the City, nay, the entire world! They fulfil many roles, depending on the Office or Association they serve, and the most grand Fixers are the Color Fixers, whose powers transcend such trappings! Fixers can do anything! They investigate crimes, protect the weak, uphold justice in seas of treachery! They battle with monsters that befall the City, indeed, there is nothing a Fixer cannot uphold!

[She WILL give Tsukasa a history of every Fixer Office and Association if left unhinged]

[aspirings]

[Oh she's so excited?!?! Her enthusiasm brightens his own mood, honestly; he perks up, a smile appearing on his face as if by automatic (if a slightly bemused one).]

Then... Fixers are heroes?

[HEROES OF JUSTICE???]

[laestrella]

Yes! Heroes of the City, fighting villains and keeping peace!

[She had SO many photos. But she'll point at her coat]

These badges are markers of the Greatest of them all!

[aspirings]

[!!!]

Then you are also a hero of justice too! These are your badges? You must be an absolutely incredible hero then!

[laestrella]

[ Deflating just a little]

Nay, these badges are what the Great Fixers giveth to provide hope and inspiration. I wear them to live up to their reputations. But fear not, although I hath not been a fixer very long, I shall do my best.

[aspirings]

[Oops. He made her deflate...]

Oh, yes, of course! Every great Fixer had to start somewhere, after all. I'm certain you'll be earning your own for your own feats of heroism soon enough!

[laestrella]

Forsooth! Ah, Young Tsukasa, thou understand me well. All great heroes must start from small and humble beginnings. Much like stars!

[aspirings]

Precisely! That is exactly how I feel. In fact, shining gloriously as a Great Fixer or a world-wide star is all the more impressive with humble beginnings!

[They are just a positive feedback loop.

He puts the flour away, sparkling.]

[laestrella]

Hoooh, it hath been too long since I met someone who understood! [Clean up, complete. Now there are just a plate of extra cinnamon-y cinnamon cookies on the bench top]

[aspirings]

[Cookies!!!]

Yes, it has been wonderful to meet a kindred spirit here! [The two sparkly yellows.]

Even if our goals are different, the way we approach them is much the same!

[He's so delighted... Don brings him such good energy.

... Anyway now he finally sees the Cookies.]

Oh? Did you bake these?

[laestrella]

I did. T'was a thought that came to me that nothing is more sincere than an offering of food when paired with an apology!

[Extra cinnamon-cinnamony cookies. Just the way the Elders hated loved them]

[aspirings]

[h...how cinnamon-y...]

I don't think you have anything to apologize for still! But even so, I'm sure everyone will enjoy them very much!

What an excellent idea!

[laestrella]

[Does she not? But it is not like her to dwell overly long on self recriminations too]

Please do try some! I would find thy opinion most valuable!
