{Sesshomaru switches so Cloud can hear his voice and decide for himself his intentions.}

I have no desire for what you hold dear.

[makoglow]

[ Voice is a little flat, but Cloud's is most of the time too. ]

There's not much I don't value, honestly.

[prince_of_the_moon]

Is that overwhelming? To fight for everything? {Can it be done? He supposes he came close with Naraku, but he wasn't doing it alone.}

[makoglow]

Sometimes. But if it's something or someone that is important to you? It won't really feel like it when everything comes down to it.

[prince_of_the_moon]

How can one man, one demon, fight for everyone? Everything? Do you never rest?

[makoglow]

[ A scoff ]

Not as much as I want.

[ But more importantly - ]

You don't have to go around looking for it all the time. I think it's just being present in the moment. Doing what you can, when you can.

[prince_of_the_moon]

Very well. {That is an acceptable answer.} I too follow that logic. I cannot be everywhere, but there is much I can do.

[makoglow]

I think that when you find out what that something is, you'll know it. It'll be something that you're willing to risk your own life for.

Without a second thought.

[prince_of_the_moon]

You intend to suggest that finding one piece of life that you wish to protect opens you to protecting all of it? There is a chain that leads to that one piece, that is true; if one section is destroyed, what you hold dear might not exist.

I understand.

[makoglow]

That's... Definitely how it started for me. Before I knew it I had more things that mattered to me than I really knew what to do with.

[prince_of_the_moon]

You do not regret it?

[makoglow]

No. Why should I regret it? What's there to regret?

[prince_of_the_moon]

Your freedom from fear and doubt.

[makoglow]

There's nothing wrong with being afraid and having some doubts. Being overconfident and arrogant can get you into trouble. Honestly, the problem with fear and doubt isn't that the exist. It's being overtaken by them.

[prince_of_the_moon]

I had no reason to entertain them. {In the past.} Finding balance does not come naturally.

[makoglow]

It never does. Not for anyone.

[prince_of_the_moon]

I wonder why this is the desirable path.

[makoglow]

Because you end up feeling fuller, more complete with it. I know I do.
