[ Ishtar played with them for a little bit, before letting them do their thing. She knew that she could only advert the conversation for so long. She was pretty sure that Zero had already figured out why she was asking about him more than herself. Though, in her defense, she always cared about him and everyone else above her own self. She didn't really value herself as much as she should at times, but the same thing could be said towards Zero, who seemed to do the same thing Ishtar did. They were both a bit careless with their lives on that matter sometimes.

There wasn't anything too awful that happened with her, but she wasn't sure she was ready to tell him about the deaths she encountered during her stay in Facility and now in Cerealia obviously. She didn't want to keep secrets, but she wasn't fully lying to him either. She just seemed to twist the truth a little bit so that he wouldn't worry about her too much. Not that it mattered. She was sure he figured it out now and looking at him was a bit hard because she knew he would see through her if anything. ]
