I think it is. [she looks out back at the city.] Master told me a long time ago that it's possible to attack more than one problem at once if you balance it right. If you don't, they split into very small problems that overwhelm you.
I wouldn't say I disagree with your master. [ because he does think there's some truth to that. ] But I would say that sometimes finding that balance is almost harder than figuring out the problems in the first place.
[ thus sometimes you just go backwards without meaning to. ]
...we can only do our best. And when it gets too weird or unmanageable for whatever the problem is, at least we have...a...tree? [ he sort of grins like he realizes it's dumb to say it like that. ] You get it.
An alliance? [ he isn't so much surprised by the words but more by the words coming from shenhe. the competition's going to start soon, and it means they'll both have to be a little more secretive about things and on-point for their teams.
but, then again...there's still the fact that nothing says you can't help out another person sometimes as long as you do what you have to do. hysterically this is an alliance about a fucking tree of all things, but it's kind of a bigger thing than that in jonas's head. it's with that in mind that he takes her hand to shake on it. ]
Okay. Consider us an alliance to speak for the tree. Or whatever.

We do have a tree. [she holds out her hand to him.] You and I must make an alliance to make sure nothing happens to it in that case.
