[There's a very solemn nod as Beauty takes this seriously.]

A very interesting strategy. [It's mumbled, but alas.] I can assure you, at least, there are some of us who won't lie to you. Though as weeks proceed I fear that people will begin holding the cards much closer to the chest, so to speak.

Do you have people you can trust here?

I see. [This explains nothing.]

Am I correct to assume you'll continue speaking to all of us even as our numbers shift?

[They look to the side suddenly.]

I can't speak for others, but I'd like that very much, actually. There is a reason I sent Senri-kun with my roses.

[It's as Senri said: Beauty just wants to talk to people.]

[That's fair. Protect the child.]

That's all I ask. And should you need my assistance again, you may call on me.
