It seemed that Kiyo didn't understand Tsubomi's comment, but she didn't realize that. With her mind moving at its usual pace and focused on Suki, all she heard was that Kiyo agreed with her. Though Haruna talking about there being a lot of gems did register. Followed by Roche's comment on strategy. If she was now with Kiyo, and Kiyo was going to find the monkeys...

[color=00aeef]"Mm."[/color] That'd be difficult. It was one thing to hunt down a Magical Girl, it was another to do so in her current state. Could Tsubomi even do anything for that? She couldn't really talk her way through things, not without her usual perk-up from transforming, but she wasn't in a state to fight either. Had her magical self even healed yet? She wasn't sure. 

Granted, all of these thoughts dragged their way through her mind at a pace befitting someone out of shape climbing a mountain, but at least she was thinking. 

[color=0072bc]"Oh god, you're thinking."[/color] The voice that she hadn't heard since the mess of a "fight" was back. A slow glance around showed that once again it was only in her own mind. Though the other somewhat mind-reader in the room would notice that Tsubomi's desires were back to how they were in the past, without the newer one showing itself anymore.

Having just barely enough awareness to not speak aloud, Tsubomi thought back at her supposed other self. [color=00aeef][i]Sometimes.[/i][/color]

[color=0072bc]"Uhuh. In the sense that twice ever is 'sometimes,' I guess."[/color]

[color=00aeef][i]Exactly.[/i][/color]

It was this moment that she noticed that her hand had stopped its pitiful attempts to pat Suki's head, simple laying on it. Tsubomi began to pull her hand back, letting gravity return it to her side faster than she could herself. Still, she wanted to keep her other hand on Suki's shoulder.

[color=0072bc]"It's weird to see you trying to be nice. You want to pretend, but you can't even fake it right."[/color]

Tsubomi's head once more moved in the way it was most used to, tilting to the side. But an answer to her silent question never came. The voice had stopped, and with its disappearance, a focused Haruna might notice the apathetic girl's desires returning to how they were moments ago.

[color=00aeef]"Set a trap?"[/color] It seemed that she was back to the world around her. As much as she usually was, at least.
