Mm... It's hard to think of a plan because their body is made of that crystal stuff. They can lose limbs and be totally fine, and they don't eat or anything, either.
[As he speaks, he just kind of... idly loops one of the long, dangling strips of fabric attached to his headband around one wrist, pulling it tight for a moment before he lets it go and brushes it back into place-- silent indication that they absolutely missed a weapon here.
Shame it won't help with someone who can't be strangled.]
They can lose limbs, but do you suppose if they broke into enough pieces...?
And of course I can't do all the work, either, given my current condition... but I intend to see if there's a way I might get healed. Someone invisible could free me without being noticed, and accompany me relatively safely. Someone besides myself could acquire an appropriate weapon if it were needed.
Someone besides myself could also request that Sol-kun unseal my element, and find out what would be necessary to do so. I don't believe it would work if I asked for it.
Do me a favor or two, Akane-chan, and I may do you one in turn-- but you'd need to come along.
Mm, but then I still get counted as an accomplice... Do you think it counts if I manage to keep your door unlocked before curfew, instead of getting up to unlock it...?
[ ... She's already up and running with this idea of not having to do the dirty work and being able to avoid blame on technicality. Great. ]
Well, either way. I can be invisible. And I have a gun you could use.
Not necessarily. I'd feel more comfortable having it, but... well, I suppose then it couldn't come up in trial, could it.
[Ups and downs... he's not sure water would do much against the rock, anyway, unless he had a different ability.
He takes another moment to think about something, then adds-]
I do think someone would be likely to check the door not long before, though. But in any case-- I'd like to give it time first. Make sure I still live, for one thing. Put some more thought into it in the meantime, and I'll do the same.
[Shirasu is here for it, but he's had one plan fail already; he'll jump on the idea, but he won't put it into action too hastily.]
[ Hmm... She figures Shirasu has more first-hand knowledge on killing someone himself than her, so even though she wants to do it... She'll take his advice. ]
Ooookaaaay.
In the meantime, I'll see about getting your element back. If you don't have to use it, that's better, but it's good to have a backup.
I'm already going to be under extra suspicion-- I've been accused of more than I was actually involved with, already.
[He exhales a long-suffering sigh, there.]
That's why I'd like to be certain enough planning has gone into it before I act again. I know I'm likely to die regardless, but I'm not going to let that make me completely reckless.
[ And she's pretty sure people are going to... Know that she likes Shirasu, and doesn't like Cinnabar, so there's definitely a lot of danger in this no matter her precautions. But oh well! ]
I'd offer to do something for you in exchange, but this gun only has one bullet. I wonder if I could get more...

Do you have a plan in mind? Normally I'd offer to assist, but given the situation... it'd be somewhat difficult. Perhaps not impossible, however.

I don't even think I could shatter them if I tried. It's not like I'm very strong.

Do we still even need your element?

Find out what it would take, but if it's something he's willing to do? Wait for it.
