[ 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. ]

Maybe someone who is powerful enough to defend all those beliefs.

I... [ DON'T KNOW IF ONE SHOULD COUNT AXEL. Well, he is a good, loyal friend. Just. Agh. ]

I think so. But it's ultimately their choice to want to be my friend, right?

[ex_cashcow493]

Yes, which is why you desire to protect them, right?

[ Just going to go on a limb of faith here and assume she feels that way. ]

Right.

[ Pauses. ] Saber, what do you consider as strength?

audio;

[ex_cashcow493]

Then you should take notice of yourself, for you fit the qualification you look in others.

.. What do I consider as strength?

[ ... Oh, Saber. Sheepish silence, commence! ] Oh, um... Thank you, saber. Still, I want to be stronger to make sure I keep things like that.

I mean, agh... [ Mun Brain fart! ] Do you believe all of that makes someone powerful? Are there other things?
