[ Neria regards Jonathan in silence for some time, weighing her options, running through what she can do. She had wanted to be more lenient before now, until all of these changes have made things more difficult. It isn't his fault; it's Duplicity's and their sudden urge to change everything.
She wants this to be a partnership. And that means not only trusting Jonathan (which she does in spades) but being all right with him shouldering the responsibility.
At length, Neria nods. ]
All right. If you would, please look into it. I'll speak with Zexion - if only because I actually would like to know more about his magic and, perhaps, if I can replicate even a fraction of it. But I'll leave the tunnels to you, as well as telling the staff.
[ There's a pause. ]
This is what we think is best. I don't want these decisions to only be mine. If you are satisfied with this, too, then we can move forward.
Agreed. I think I may need to go and make some inquiries, then. If you would excuse me. And Ms. Neria, I... once more, I do apologize for frustrating you. I understand, fully, sometimes, that the need to rage at a friend cools the temper. You do not owe me an apology for your words. I'm glad we could work this out a bit.
You may not think I owe you an apology, Jonathan, but I do. My behavior was absolutely no excuse. You are my friend and...your heart has been in the right place. I appreciate your willingness to hear me out, despite how I hurt you.
[ But she has taken up his time, so she gestures, gently, for the door. ]
I'll be heading out soon, myself. I'll see you tomorrow evening.
