"Oh." Zhensou fidgets. "Yes that would definitely be it then. She uh. She sees a lot more than most people do." He doesn't understand it, and hasn't ever bothered asking for a detailed explanation. But it's just one of the many odd quirks his little big sister has.

He nods. "I can turn it off."
Matcha's eyes go wide. He's serious about this. He's really going to do it.

"Uuuuhm." Zhensou twitches. This wasn't exactly anything like he was expecting. He feels like he may have pushed Tamand too far. "Look. Um. When I said you were hiding, I didn't mean you had to...expose yourself like that or anything...because what you're doing is still very noble..." He trails off...

"I should not have done it."
Matcha looks a bit frightened, glancing from Tamand to Zhensou and back again.

"Uuuuh. You've kept all these people from dying to Azandra...I think that's something good to do, right?" Frick. He did push him too far.

"But did they have a choice in the matter? Did they decide to sign away their lives? Did they decide never to see the sun? Not these! Those who did are dead! They ought to have a choice!" Tamand raises his voice, angrier than anyone's likely seen him before. Matcha steps back toward the door, face a bit pale.

Zhensou gulps, sparking erratically. "Okay...so give them the choice. But don't just drop their defenses without asking them all...that's no fairer than putting it up without asking. Less, even, since you're putting them in danger for it."

Tamand sighs. "Very well. I will ask." He turns to Matcha, and his voice immediately quiets. "Matcha? Do you understand all that's been said?"
Matcha swallows, stepping forward a bit, and nods silently.

"Um. Who are you going to ask exactly?" Zhensou deeeefinitely put his foot in it, and he knows it. "And you'll keep it up until I can bring Vent back, right? Please? Please don't drop it before you have a way out."

"I'll ask the council," Matcha volunteers, referring to the people who, with herself and Manik, had decided on Luna's replacement.
"...I will keep the shield up," agrees Tamand. He looks tired again, and guilty.

Zhensou sighs. "Thank you."
...
"You...could keep it up, and just make it smaller or something, for a loading area on the edge of the island?"

"I could..." Tamand leans back in his seat. His eyes dim. He's used up far more energy than he should have today. It'll be worth it soon, hopefully, but for now...
Matcha puts a hand on Zhen's shoulder, to gently guide him out. "I'll ask the council... you may want to wait to leave until they've decided."

"I mean..." He'd really like to leave tonight, actually. "How long?"

Matcha frowns, calculating. "Manik is resting, most likely... Shie and Sun are in the middle of a project... I don't know where Framer is. Hm. ...Until we decide. That's how long."

"I'm leaving tonight." He swallows. "If...Well it won't hurt Vent to at least stop in Deep."
He hesitates. "If someone wants to come with me when I leave to find her...I can take them. If they're human." ...
"If they don't mind fusing."

"Well...if they're with me. I don't plan on getting in trouble at all. So safer than on their own."

Matcha nods. "...Would you like to take Haoqi or Manik?"

"Uh." He looks cornered. They're both bad choices. But, Haoqi is the younger one, so he might be able to control her more. But also, Manik is older, so more mature? He freezes, thinking carefully. (6) "Well, Manik needs to be at the council, so I guess Haoqi." He swallows, and nods, his conviction growing.
