Heh, thanks. [He's... not entirely sure if he's comfortable with anything resembling awe coming in his direction, and certainly not with how morally conflicted he's been feeling lately.]
It was a lot easier than all of this is, though. I caught it before they managed to do much.
[It's okay, she won't be too admiring for long, even if she's sure Jaime's downplaying his own abilities--she's seen him in action, after all.]
Well, I guess that sort of thing's always easier when you catch it early. [If only someone had caught Naraku all those years ago. Better yet--if only someone had put the UE out of its misery, long before now.] Which... is the point of the time travel, I guess, isn't it? With the UE.
[Not that it makes time travel any more appealing.]
Yeah. I just... wish that there was another way to change this, besides stumbling blind through time doing seemingly random things in hopes that it'll fix the future. They call it a war, but it's not, it's... espionage, at best.
I almost wish it actually was a war. Everything would be so much simpler if all we had to do was fight. I could understand that.
[She really misses the days when she could just punch her problems away. ]

Wait. Are you saying you saved the Earth from being enslaved?
[Holy shit Jaime. Talk about accomplishments.]
no subject
[He is pretty proud of that one.]

[That is totally not an accomplishment she is even slightly envious of, nope.
And even if it was, the only thing that can be heard in her voice is awe, at the moment.]

[They're still responsible for other deaths. Just not on a scale as large as the UE is.]
But the consequences are different. I can't say I really understand most of it.
[Time travel, man. It sucks.]

[Where are all the evil giant robots? Seriously, guys.]
But it's a war all right. When this many people die... it's a war. It's just one that we can't fight the normal way. We know that now.
