[Odile's distaste for fate is also apparent again. As it has no bearing on the conversation at hand, he simply notes this for himself.]
Mm. The matches are merely a feature of the game, after all. As the Overseer advised, they should be free to choose whom they pursue on their respective journeys.
[ She'll lapse into silence for a moment, watching him. ]
While you have yet to have a disagreement with anyone... is there any whom you have felt more-- at ease, with? For the respite you mentioned, if only for the moment. [ Something like what Edamura had mentioned, a kind of... walls down comfort, but flavored Yi Sang. ] I would suggest you look within, and perhaps choose among the names that rise from that, if nothing else.
[ Just as. Something for him to have direction with, since he seems to lack it. And Odile has a surplus of purpose. ]
[He takes a deep, muted breath. Direction is sound. It guides his thoughts, cutting the excess and tangles out into unwieldy chunks that scatter in his mind.]
While I feel no more at rest with one single player, if I were to choose a name from each team using a certain definition of ease . . . it would be you or Miss Yingying.
could not be more opposite in terms of first impression personality?????????????????????????????????????? Yingying is someone she's looking forward to speaking with more herself, for different reasons, but--
She does not understand his standard for "certain definition of ease". Still, being named twice isn't... a bad feeling. More than she thought she would be, at least the first week. Odile is aware she doesn't exactly strike a spark with others off the bat. ]
... While I doubt that our matches lie within the same team, it is a possibility. And you are not someone I cannot see myself matched with.
[ Or for Jae's benefit: Odile can see them matched. ]
If I were you, I would choose her first, and should she be chosen before you are called, then I will be your back up.
[She might not, but Yi Sang understands his definition quite well. Even if all that awaits is uncertainty, there's this—Odile's guidance in the darkness of his never-ending ruminations.]
Should the players in attendance agree, I shall do as you say.
Consider this a one time favor. I won't be advising you next we choose, as by that time you ought to have some idea of what, or who, you need. Understood?
[ They're blunt words, but without irritation or ire. ]
