You offering yourself up to die instead wouldn't help anyone, though...

[...Fiere isn't going to disagree with his human's inability to accept her dying, but he can try to help.]

...As long as it's ours to give, is the rule, right? Last time, I didn't see all of them, but Tan gave his fire, Sakura gave his ability to swim, Ventus gave the bench he came here with, and Zelos' friend gave up his humanity I think?

I'm not sure, but I think... it doesn't matter so much what it is, as long as it's important to the giver. I mean, what use would someone's species be to an Echo?

It would mean you wouldn't die no matter what.

...All I have is my memories of my siblings, and the friends I've made here. But I would rather die than forget Paul and Carrie.

Watching you die wouldn't help. And neither would you giving up memories, so don't even think about it!

[Is that a little distress at even the concept of the second one...?]

...What I was getting at was, maybe there's something else? Like... I dunno, if it was me, I could offer up my fur, and its ability to grow back for some amount of time. I'm not much of a fox if I'm not fluffy, right?

But if you died, that would hurt me, too...

[looking at fiere]

I don't have any skills, though... Except cooking, and that isn't very important.

[He opens his mouth, but catches himself - Gloss would get so mad at him if he said what was about to come out of his mouth, wouldn't she - and just goes silent.]

But you're a human, right? Humans can all see things. Hear things. Taste things.

...So maybe something like that would work? I already know Tan was considering his voice.

Only because you can read my mind.

Oh - oh, that's true! I wonder if that would be enough...

...Don't offer anything you're not okay with not having for a while, and if you don't want to have to quest for Akasha to get it back, put a time limit on it. Okay?

[He's looking at the wall now.]

Okay... What are you going to do?

My voice. For a week.

...If Laura can live without hers for three years, I can live without mine for that long.

Okay. I could do... My voice and my sight, maybe? I don't care about questing from her, but I want to make sure it's enough to help you.

Are you sure? Even one would be a lot...

[nodding]

I want to make sure you're okay.

[He wants to tell her not to sacrifice so much for his sake. ...But that's a losing battle that he knows will devolve only into the arguments Gloss would get mad at him for using.]

...All right, but only if you're really sure about this.

I am. I just hope it works...

If it doesn't, don't watch, okay?

...Okay. B-But it's not going to happen!

[...This is a forced smile but he's trying.]

Yeah. You're right.

So... What do we do now?

I guess... we tell her our offer, and then we wait.

...Okay.

...Were you going to set a time limit on yours, or by not caring about questing from her did you mean...?

[just to be sure]

Oh, I meant that I wouldn't mind not putting a time limit on it. Unless you think that might be worth more...?

Last time, she said not putting a time limit would make it worth more...

[he's just petty and doesn't want to give this Echo more power than he has to ~~and also might have a small death wish...~~]

I just want to be sure of what you want to do.

Then I won't put a time limit on it. I want to make sure you're okay, so...

...Okay.

[He's not happy, but okay.]
