I'm gonna guess Harine just wasn't able to.

Sorry, I was still thinking. You should go ahead, at this point I don't think Ebon would interrupt. If Mokuran and Sepia made things any more awkward then maybe Ebon might step in. But if he came across this scene right now and heard what Mokuran said he wouldn't really do anything, since he would know that Mokuran isn't trying to hurt Skyra, she's just confused at the feelings she is having.

Also Ebon would be reading both your minds to figure out what just happened, so he'll be quick on the uptake if he needs to know what happened.

I'm just going to write something for Ebon heading to lunch.

Unless Mokuran is incapable of thinking herself, Ebon's telepathy only picks up surface level thoughts. He can't go rooting around for memories. But he can tell how your mind is somewhat working, discerning mood, motives, internal monologues, and focus. If he asks you what your name was, even if you don't tell him he should be able to pick it up if you think your name for even a moment. I liken his power sort of like Nodoka from Negima, though he doesn't need a book or multiple artifacts.

Why can't Shiro speak to Sapphire :(

And what's this about him beating her in a match? This is sacrilege.

@Lugubrious Come back the Zelda RP Someone else wants to pick up Midna so if you're not sure your done this is your last chance with the Twilight Princess.

@harinezumikouken @Lucius Cypher Also I finally wrote out Sapphire's backstory in the Team Doc. It's a little bit generalized but you get the picture.

As for Sapphire, well...I may or may not have mentioned it before. But, Shiro already believes somewhere in his mind that even he could be a better leader. Purely because he believes he is the one team member that heavily aids in keeping the team somewhat cohesive.

He knows he's not the brightest, but if he were to issue commands on the battlefield wouldn't Abel and Gren follow them without any grudges? Sure, doubts and second guesses. But I think Abel and Gren would have more faith in the furball than Sapphire. If Shiro and Sapphire were to ever throw down and he won, that would only strengthen his beliefs. Believing her to be unfit and undeserving of the role Ozpin assigned to her.

Now that hurts. She's not a bad leader just not much of people person.

Besides I think following someone with a grudge but knowing that they've got a good handle on things is better than following someone you trust and like and being unsure if he's going to lead you to safety or get you killed.

Now that I think about it that's sort of Sapphire's mentality as a leader. She's not popular but she gets the job done.

<Snipped quote by Prince of Seraphs>
Would I be wrong to say that within human nature, you'd be more inclined to listen to someone whom you admire and like? Or rather the leader who's a fucking jackass that you'd wish would suck-start a shotgun, but gets shit done and with an icy efficiency?

I feel like busting out quotes from the Prince, but I'll refrain.
