But...!
Janani hears her raised tone, and she immediately takes a step back. It was a protective raised tone, but she's not so sure about using them. She didn't know what to do in this place sometimes.
Aren't you worried?

About what?

Heaving a sigh, her hug loosens around WhiteRose. Absentmindedly, she begins scratching the plush's chin. Of course...it could feel no pleasure in that.
Your future... You life. Your friends and family?

All those things are better protected with me taking an active role in protecting them. Talking about things is a lot of fun.. if you're a psychiatrist. I'm a soldier, so I do what I do best.

She nods. Janani'd heard all that before. When she goes through her Quickening, she'll be fully ready to fight demons to protect humans. To this though, she rubs her right shoulder. She's a Bind, but she's just not ready for that kind of responsibility yet...
I...
She pauses, and he voice becomes low.
I admire you... You're so strong...

No, I'm not. I'm good. I'm determined. I wouldn't say that I'm strong.
Besides....
::Sato looks Janani up and down::
... I think you might be able to take me in a fistfight.

She looks down, kind of embarrassed. She doesn't blush, though. Absentmindedly again, she scratches WhiteRose on the chin.
That's not...a fair assessment... We Shard...
Janani pauses. She'd told others, but could she really say it without being too embarrassed to somebody who already is a guardian in her own right? Sighing, she decides she may as well.
...are built to be guardians. Protecting humans from the demons that would have them. I...I can't even do that yet...

What? Like supernatural demons from hell? I don't buy that crap.

Janani continues to scratch WhiteRose on the chin. She almost treats the plush as if it were real...
I didn't think you would... You're already a guardian in your own right, after all.
She kinda smiles as she looks up to Sato. The truth is that there really is no reason to believe what she's saying.
...though I don't think 'supernatural' is the right word.
She mumbles to herself.

::Sato scoffs::
I'm no guardian. I'm a fighter. I don't protect, I kill. Its what I do, and I'm damn good at it.

To this, Janani can't help but smile.
No. You said it best yourself. You fight to protect your self, your family, and your friends.

Protecting your way of life doesn't make you a guardian.
*Sato frowns*
It makes me selfish.

Hmm?
Janani tilts her head as she thinks about that for a moment. She really has no idea how protecting loved ones has anything to do with selfishness, but it's more likely she just doesn't understand the intricacies being spoken of.
You're only fighting for yourself? That's not what you just said...

::Sato sighs, her voice getting terse::
Yes, it is. I fight to protect my friends and family. That's because they're important to ME. I don't fight to protect other people. You can't in a war. Because the other side is people too. And they're fighting to protect those people and things important to them. There are no heroes in a war. Only victims.

She looks at Sato curiously. Why did what she just said sound so familiar? With that thought, she brings WhiteRose closer to her once more.
Is it so hopeless...?
It's a rhetorical question, but it's mostly directed to herself.
