Hi, this is Winter Tsukuyomi. I can't get to my phone now; I'm probably out working at the village, and I don't get great reception. If you need something, please leave a message or send me an e-mail, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. If it's urgent, please use the network, which I CAN access, or find someone who can. Thanks! (beep)

I'm the one that's being selfish. I have a home. I have parents that... probably want to see me more than they do. But I spend all my time, and more than a few of my nights, here. It's in-incredibly selfish, but it helps me sleep, and it's what I want, if I'm being honest.

As for our plans... I don't know. There are so many more of us here, but even a few more of us may not make a difference to anything that attacks out there. Not if it's only us. And you're right that Jasmine can't come along if we go. I wouldn't want her to. That's an argument for staying anyway... I still need to make sure she does okay this summer. I took responsibility for that, and I'll see it through.

[ Lily starts to open her mouth to object, but refrains. There's a certain weight - among the many other weighty things they've thrown out in the past couple minutes - to Winter saying that which takes a couple moments to catch up to her. A the least, that makes it time for her cheeks to heat up. ] If that's what you want, then I guess I'm okay if you want to be a little selfish...

[ She clears her throat, trying to compose herself. ] Ei-either way, it's my responsibility too. I have to make sure she does well just as much. And... we can't just go there without a plan of some sort, can we? Just wandering around didn't net us anything to begin with...

[ To say nothing of the only thing Lily did come home from Vegas with, but that doesn't need to be stated. ]

[Winter frowns, but... they've already had that discussion.] No, it didn't. We can't go without some idea of what we're doing again, and Jasmine has to come first. We already have enough problems, and I don't want to have to worry about that, too.

So, with that said... I don't think there's any reason for us to go back yet. We can be more useful here, right now. I have a lot more work to do to get my confidence back up, but... that's not really important now. For now, I just need to know that we're planning to stay, and you're ready for whatever happens. That I'm ready.

That's settled then, isn't it? For now, at least - we'll do what we can here, and... See what happens.

[ A hand comes up to Winter's cheek, and she manages a smile. It's light, but it's there. ] Your confidence is important, however. That and whatever it is you want or need is important, if not to you, then to me. Remember that at least, okay? So whatever it is we face, whatever we do... I'll find a way to be ready.
