[assuming they go back to their dorm to freshen up after invest or something. saya is just sitting in the kitchen and drinking from a cute purple tumbler with a straw, looking like she's deep in thought.]
... You don't have to treat us to breakfast anymore. It's okay.
[...he's disappointed by this. but the time is not right to admit to that.]
Yeah. It would be stupid for the three of us to go out and celebrate a "job" at a time like this. I knew it was dangerous, but I didn't expect something to happen to one of us so quickly.
[he doesn't disagree, it's just bad to think about, because it means they're all at risk.]
...Hey. Whisper wants us to start training together. I'll be fine because in addition to my powers I'm trained in Shaolin Kungfu [he has a green belt in kenpo] but it's worth appeasing those worries by showing her we can handle ourselves, right?
Oh. [she furrows her eyebrows, looking down at her legs for a moment. wiggles her toes like she's testing whether or not she can move her feet.] I'm not... very strong. Even with my ability. I think it would be a good idea for me to train with Whisper, anyway.
Well - strength is only one part of it, you know? You can be physically strong, or have great powers, but that doesn't mean you'll win against an opponent who's going at it strategically.
...It seemed like, at dinner, you weren't quite ready to trust Amethyst Snake completely. [the person, not the team.] What do you think, now?
... I still don't trust them. It's hard to really believe them when they know our names and faces, but we don't know who they are under those costumes.
I haven't picked up on anything that doesn't come across as sincere, but - well, the way I see it, either way, there's no harm building a relationship there. You were right to invite them to join us.
I want to get to know them, too, of course... But it's better to keep the people you don't trust close, anyway. If you keep your eye on them, they'll have less opportunities to hide things from you.

Sounds like a slot machine or something. [but they're nowhere near the casino now.]

I got stuck there last night for a bit. Maybe I got tinnitus or something.
