We did. It feels weird to take credit for that, though. It's not like there was another option?
[ hmmm. ]
You can ask me anything anytime, but okay! Let's get to know each other first. We should get comfortable. [ they grab yoshizawa's hand and, if she lets them, lead her a bit further away before taking out two cushions?? from their robes?? and placing them on the ground before flopping down. probably still dragging yoshizawa with them, ] Okay, I've got a good first one! What's your favorite color?
[She was under the impression they could have left them to rot, but...? Hmm. She will allow them to lead her by the hand, however! She will even mumble a quiet "thank you" as she's pulled down into the other cushion. NPC hammerspace... Amazing.]
Oh! It's blue. [Easy enough, despite how much red she actually wears. And a little tentatively, considering the whole memory situation:] And yours? Do you recall your favorite color?
And let you guys suffer and potentially aid in the end of all worlds? What kind of choice is that?
[ so, yes, a choice, but not one that was any good according to them. swan's responding smile at yoshizawa's worry is soft, though ]
I do, that's why I started with it! We mostly remember our likes and dislikes, and stuff we were familiar with that the others might not have been, but it's like... there's a lost connection, I guess. It's hard to explain aaaand kind of a downer. [ they chuckle, a little awkward ] A-ny-way, my favorite is purple! So there you go, now we know one thing about one another that isn't our names.
No choice at all. But, I understand not all people in the world would agree with us. [Some people just want to watch the world burn, after all.
Anyway, I can't believe Swan is Stephanie Brown. "They said purple, not eggplant." It's Stephanie Brown. And now Sumire is frowning, her eyebrows furrowing in concern.]
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring the mood down. [Please, someone save Swan.] We can talk about something else entirely if you prefer.
Well, those people are wrong. [ firmly? and then they wave their hands in front of themselves hastily ] No, no, it's not down, I promise! It's hard to explain that stuff without it being a little ... bleh... but I want to get to know you! So this is fine. And fun. We only just started! [ and then after a pause, quickly; ] But if you want to talk about anything else you can, obviously, I know you said you had real questions too. I'm not saying we have to keep going.
No, no, that's not it. I do have questions, but those can wait! The main reason I asked to see you was because I wanted to get to know you — as a person. Not simply as someone who will be watching over me.
Oh. [ they grin, wide, before grabbing sumire's hands ] See! We're on the same page already. Just got a little awkward, but let's move past that. What's your favorite hobby?
It's not cheating! [ they grin at the squeeze ] It's something you really like doing, so it counts. Mine... [ they stick their tongue out a little ] Fighting? Maybe it's just action. It's hard to tell for sure.
I have to repair it if we break anything important. [ they turn their head to the side ... despair... but then they turn back with a grin ] Want to do it now?
[OFF THEY GO. The teleporting is going to get some getting used to, because she takes a startled step back when she suddenly finds herself in the forest.]

... Would it be cheating if I said gymnastics? I do aspire to do it on a professional level one day, after all.

[Except Swan doesn't seem like the type of person to start yelling about bloodbaths. Maybe. Probably. She doesn't know their life.]
Have you tried experimenting with different kinds of action? I'm sure you can narrow it down.
