'Prophet', remember? I have a bit of a sixth sense when it comes to people wanting to make wishes.

[He'll sit down in the other chair.]

I have a guess, but it's my policy to let the customer talk through it. That tends to reveal more of the intent behind the wish than just guessing for myself.

[youkaiwatch]

All right.

[ She looks down at the teacup for a moment, not picking it up, and exhales softly. ]

Anon-kun is gone and Koide-kun is with you. The only one I can still do anything for is Kurama-kun.

As a youkai, one power I had was the ability to share my senses with other living things. I can't do that here, so I'm asking you to do it for me. I want to share my sight with him so we can better look out for each other, and so that he has more of an opportunity to defend himself if anyone targets him.

[foundfate]

Oh, that's like what Doumeki and I did, except done intentionally. I can grant that wish, yes.

[youkaiwatch]

[ That's a more casual response than she expected, but if that's the story behind his eyes... ]

To give him that third eye, the price would be losing one of mine, right?

[ It would literally be an eye for an eye. ]

[foundfate]

Yes, but it doesn't have to be a 'complete eye' kind of thing.

[He points to his own right eye.]

This is half of someone else's eyesight. He could still see out of his own eye, but his eyesight in that eye was cut in half, and that half was given to me. I could do something like that for you, if you like. Until you get glasses it will be disorienting, and you will randomly be able to see what he sees, but it might be a good way to give him that protection without completely going blind in one eye.

[youkaiwatch]

[ ...That's very different from how her own power would have worked. ]

That would only give him half of it too, wouldn't it? Or are you actually in the business of granting half-priced wishes?

[foundfate]

It's not a half-priced wish, Emi-san. The idea is that you wouldn't have to go blind in one eye that way.

Plus you both could sometimes see what the other sees if you share an eye.

[youkaiwatch]

I didn't mean it as an insult.

[ She just doesn't want to regret getting what she paid for. ]

How would that work on his part, then?

[ When she did this with her own power, she very literally gave one of her eyes to things that didn't have any. And it was fucking creepy tbh. On both sides. ]

I don't want to take anything from him.

[foundfate]

If he consents to it, you could each give the other a half of your eye? That would be an even trade and would take care of the cost handily.

[youkaiwatch]

You really don't think like a youkai, Watanuki-kun.

[foundfate]

Well excuse me for wanting you two to be friends and see what the others sees.

[>T]

[youkaiwatch]

How old are you supposed to be again?

[foundfate]

118, as of the first of this month.

[So a baby by youkai standards.]

[youkaiwatch]

I'm just saying, you could have fooled me.

[ but seriously. ]

I don't want to make him give anything up for me.

[foundfate]

That's fair.

If you don't want him to pay anything, then there is another price you can pay. You might not like it much, though.

[youkaiwatch]

And that would be...?

[foundfate]

Tell one Piece the truth about the first trial.

[youkaiwatch]

Hm.

You know this is why I never really wanted to talk with you much.

[foundfate]

Why? Because I charge difficult prices for my services?

[youkaiwatch]

Please, I already asked you for a steeper one than your initial offer.

[foundfate]

I can't just demand prices willy-nilly. They have to balance out the wish.

You wish to give insight to Kurama, to protect him. In exchange, you would need to leave yourself vulnerable by giving someone else insight into you. That is a fair trade.

[youkaiwatch]

The phrase has never been "an eye for a confession", you know.

[foundfate]

Did you expect me to take your other eye as payment or something?

[youkaiwatch]

That's how it would have worked if I'd done it myself.

[foundfate]

Well it's fortunate that my magic works differently from yours, I guess.

Or unfortunate, since you seem to not like the price.
