[ She's been contemplating this, yes, ever since she got her ass handed back to her by Vanitas. She's lost, sure, many times in fact... but this one in particular... ]

How... when do you know you're strong? That you're not weak?

[ She might end that last sentence in a bitter hiss. Sure, she's lost, but when it involves her friends (and Pokemon), it becomes another thing. She couldn't beat Vanitas, came out even more battered, and well aware her appearance would worry friends. So lately she's been hanging around the roof of Goldenrod City's Department Store.

It sounds like she's going to say more, but whatever it is dissolves into a sigh and stops. ]

...There are many ways, depending on the circumstances and the sort of strength you mean. Why do you ask?

I want to know how to better protect myself, my friends... Pokemon, too.

Compensating for the strength that is removed from us here is not easy. Do you follow any sort of training?

I'm following Lightning's. I'm training under her.

Good; she knows what she's doing. Have you thought about wearing weights every day, perhaps around your wrists? Those could help.

[ ... a slight... pause on her end. ]

I can't put any on my right for now.

[...Oh hell. Worry mode engaged.]

...Is that so? Might I ask how that happened?

[ At least she's honest? ]

I got into a fight.

Not a friendly fight, it seems. Who was it?

Mmgh... [ Do they always have to ask that? ]

Vanitas.

[Hey, it's not like he knows the guy.]

Not a friend of yours, I suppose?

No. [ She sounds very vehement about that. She shakes her head, but it's not like he can see it since she's out of the view of the camera. ]

Will he need a talking to?

[It can come with the frying pan as a bonus.]

... No. [ While she's grateful Cecil would offer, it's really her own problem now. She'll get him herself at another time. ]

...Did you at least get him good?

I broke his toes.

[ She actually doesn't sound pleased nor proud about that, but. ]

[That is more than getting him good.]

And what could he have said to to convince you to do that?

I found out he and Roxas fought, and I wanted to know why. We started arguing.

[ Then it snowbaaaaaalled. ]

Did you receive a proper answer?

... At this point, I wouldn't know if what I got really is the "proper answer."

...It sounds like a rather complicated situation.

Yeah...

[ It's odd. Several days ago, Xion was the one trying to cheer Cecil up. ]

Next time, let the Pokémon take care of the fighting. You both could have been in trouble with the law.

[Well, even losing castmates cannot keep him sad forever.]

Really?

They seem to disapprove greatly of humans fighting, though they tolerate it to some degree. Broken bones might be too serious for them to overlook.
