[takethestairs]

That doesn't sound too bad.

[A pause]

...right?

[kittenjones]

I...don't know.

[ She says that quietly and uncertainly. After a moment, she shakes her head. ]

I don't know. It's...Kids like us just get brushed aside. So I've got to get back to normal so that I can do things. [ But... ] But it wouldn't be all bad, I guess.

[takethestairs]

[Miles frowns in response. Boy, does he know that feeling.]

Kids can't really do much, can they.

[The statement's more rhetorical than anything. He looks at the cafe and walks forward, thinking of a couple more questions]

Does anyone else know?

[kittenjones]

[ She hesitates. ]

Know what?

[takethestairs]

Do they know about...

[Lowers his voice]

...about your plan.

[kittenjones]

[ She hesitates a long moment, then shakes her head. ]

They...think it's something else.

[takethestairs]

[He blinks, and stares at her, tilting his head]

Then why did you tell me? We just met.

[kittenjones]

[ A shrug. Because I'm a bloody idiot? ]

Because you're a kid. And kids are supposed to be harmless.

[ And then, even more reluctantly: ]

And you...seem to believe in the same things I believe in. You seem - like you'd understand it.

[takethestairs]

[Stops, and thinks for a moment]

I can't be the only one who believes in the same thing. Maybe... maybe you just haven't met them yet.

[kittenjones]

Maybe. It's just...I've got to be careful. Because - people could put a stop to it, if they knew what I wanted to do.

[ She scuffs bitterly at the curb under her feet. ]

It was stupid of me to say anything.

[takethestairs]

It's not stupid. [Huffs] You can't do this alone, right? Justice is a team effort.

[...that sounded cooler in his head...]

[kittenjones]

[ And that uncoolness stirs a little smile out of Kitty - not exactly happy, but... ]

Yeah. I...guess it is.

[ A slight hesitation. ]

I guess it's just hard to trust other people. You know. Before I came here, I didn't even trust people with my name, let alone my mission.

[ Then she looks over at Miles and says: ]

What do you think of what I'm doing? Would you help if you had the chance?

[takethestairs]

Well...

[He frowns, thinking hard]

You said the other me, the older me, thought it was dangerous. And I wouldn't say something like that unless I had a good reason. But...

[Crosses his arms, tapping his finger against his arm]

...just because something's risky, that doesn't mean it's all bad. And you want to help people, and spirits, right? That part's not bad. So...

[Looks up at her, making up his mind]

I would help you. We'd just have to change some stuff, first.
