In a manner of speaking, Yuffie. [she likes yuffie, so she will actually drop the bullshit and explain.] She is the necromancer who raised me from the dead, and also the one who killed me. She isn't someone we ought to trust, but she and I have depended on one another for a very long time for our continued survival, so I have adapted to her presence.
If I separated from her entirely, I'd stop being alive in any sense. It's her magic that makes my continued existence possible. [so not really.] There may come a time when her influence is enough that that choice is necessary. But for now - she's with me, often.
[yuffie is valid, she just doesn't want to be called that in any capacity.]
She can't. She can't. [saying it like she's reminding herself.] But if she were here, it wouldn't be altogether terrible. She's very clever. She could help us.
She can't! [ yuffie insists, like she would somehow spiritually 1v1 delilah if she was here ]
I don't know. I think relying on her might backfire. Even if helping us would benefit her. [ projecting a bit of shinra on delilah now don't worry about it ]

[ she doesn't even know how to deal with this kind of magic ]
And you can't just--- separate from her? I know you said she isn't really gone, but.... how much is she really still with you?

[ sorry not sorry delilah if you can hear this from somewhere in laudna's psyche ]

[and a little less brightly.]
I am not her slave, Yuffie. I am the one in control.
no subject
[ she's just very defensive of frends, which laudna is ]
So... she can't control you, right? She's just... with you.

It can hardly be worse than what we're dealing with now.

But.... we think those four saw her? Or.... [ she doesn't know what happened, honestly ] A test?

They looked like they'd really gone through it....
no subject
I don't want them to blame me for it. I don't want people to start thinking I'm dangerous or might hurt them so they kill me...
no subject
[ just putting that out there ]
... And I mean.... if anything.... wouldn't that put them in the same position as you?

[she hadn't really thought of it that way.]
Maybe, but they'll likely just see me as being responsible for her being here in some way.
