You're right, there is no way in testing it and I get it, Syaoran-kun. I GET not wanting to wait, trying to be as prepared as possible before all the danger comes.

But there are so many unknowns. There are so many things we don't know that will come. What if incense doesn't even WORK this year? If layers are being pulled back? Why would it be the same as last year or before that?

But if you get to worry about me pushing myself why don't I get to worry about you?

At the very least, take a break. I don't care that you have tea. How much have you made?

[His sullen expression only deepens as Usagi lectures him further, knowing she had good reasoning, but feeling a flare of annoyance all the same.]

If we're using that logic, then who's to say October will bad again this year? Maybe there won't be any monsters or blood, and just be more weird books and creepy movies? Maybe all this preparation is a waste for all of us.

But we know that's not the case. And even IF incense might not work this year, isn't it better to make sure we have it and not need it, instead of being short on it when we do?

... anyway, it's not the same. You lost a good chunk of your side and tried to walk home while losing a ton of blood. Anyone with common sense would be concerned about you doing too much after something like that.

[And the amount of blood he's used for this is nowhere near the amount she lost, either! He knows she means well, though his stubborn nature just makes him dig his heels in further.]

It doesn't matter how much I've made, though. I just need to make sure I have enough.

[Syaoran that is one vague-ass answer right there]

[She knows full well what it feels like to be dead set on making something and knowing that nothing is going to stop you. After all, she can make moon essence, and even if it's at the expense of herself? She would still make it.]

Alright, but please... please keep me posted about things. No secrets. I think, under the circumstance, you and I are pretty far past those, okay?

I just want you to stay safe because I love you and don't want to see you hurt. But I do understand doing something like this.

[Well... fortunately for the both of them, he isn't aware of her plan to make her own moon essence, because he definitely would have something to say about that. It's probably just easier for him to worry about other people than to turn any of that awareness towards himself.

His sour expression lessens a little as Usagi speaks, looking just a bit guilty. It wasn't as if he had intended to keep it a secret, but--]

... fine, I will. I was going to let you know once I had enough of them done, anyway.

[Though maybe not with the incriminating bandages and stuff on his fingers!]

That goes for you too, though. I know you're better now, and you have a lot of power as Sailor Moon, but-- I don't want to see another huge crystal taking up your body again, okay? Do what you need to do to protect yourself and others, but don't do anything too reckless.

[lightthedarkness]

[In fairness to Usagi, she didn't exactly go out LOOKING for the sound monsters, they literally came because she closed my door just a little too hard.

Still, he's very sweet... she has no intention of telling him how often she's died.]

I'll do my best, Syao-kun. [Yup, you just got nicknamed, Syaoran.]
