[ i cannot stress to you how much this always surprises kon. like, weeks in, and he still doesn't know how this happened to him? why are you all looking at him as reliable???
he does blink at that. ]
I'm the last person to deny that kind of offer, especially with everything going on, but... are you sure, Adora? You have a lot of things that are available to you.
Anyway, Adora just rubs the back of her head at that, glancing away.]
Yeah... I know. I thought about a few things to get with them too. [She-ra, for instance... if she'd come back.]
But in the end, I'd rather give them to someone who I think has a good chance of solving this stuff. I can only do what I can do, you know? I'm not very good at... this.
[Puzzles, dealing with subterfuge and murdering and backstabbing, that sort of clever twisty thinking. She's good at tactics but she's never been suited to this.]
I'm not giving up! I still wanna do my part. I just think this... is a better use for them.
[ even if he's still a little beat up, kon's arms are fine - he gives her a light bump with his good one when she looks away. everything is now just fond, and warm in a confused way. like he's surprised, but touched. ]
It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed. [ at least adora will take his bullshit bonkers memory for quotes better than catra does ] I've got my strengths, and you've got yours - and, honestly, those cover for our weaknesses. I think that's why Winter dorm, for all the mess that we are, winds up working the way it does.
We're such a ragtag bunch of weirdos, but we all have the same stubbornness and drive that has us going like we do. So I know you do your part already. And that you'll keep doing it.
[Yeah Adora does not seem to mind; if anything, she seems amused by it.
Kon will be Kon.]
Yeah. Of course I will. [She bumps shoulders with him too.]
We all will.
But... uh. That brings me to the second thing. Iiiii... wanna give them to you, but considering what happened to Rupert, I wanna do it in a not at all suspicious way.
[She'd hate for Kon to become a suspect just because she gave him extra vouchers or something??? This stuff is all so complicated.]
I can like, write down I'm giving them to you or something...? Obviously I can explain it too if anyone asks, but I wanna be extra careful considering the situation.
We could do a contract exchange like that, yeah. [ he radiates something pleased at that - good idea! good thinking! - and shifts, reaching to pull his notebook out from where he's got it honestly tucked in his waistband in the back. ]
And when they ask about vouchers during Saturday, inevitably, we can just be up front about it. You gave them to me, and we have it in writing that it's not anything weird. I'll even hold onto them unless there's an emergency so they're all accounted for, no funny business.
[She seems pleased as well, quietly pleased that they're getting this done, that the vouchers are going to someone who she absolutely believes can make good used to them, and that she's doing it in such a way that they'll be okay this weekend.]
Phew, that's a relief. I'm really glad to have that taken care of.
That's been on your mind for a bit, huh? [ he finds a random page in the back, so as not to interrupt all of his other notes, and offers it to her for however she wants to write down the exchange. ]
But I'll take care of it, put them to some kind of good use. I keep running out of them at all times, personally, but I just keep buying things for the dorm or contributing to funds for things.

she does bring up a fair point. ]
Yeah, that does kind of need to not be suspicious, huh. [ they'd. they'd be able to explain it to people? probably? ] How many do you have right now?

[She sighs a little.]
I'd just... keep going in circles trying to figure out the perfect thing to buy, over and over again.
Obviously I was getting nowhere, so.
They'll go to better use like this.
