She's told me over and over that she wants to help everyone, and I believe her. She's much stronger than she believes she is, but I can also see this place eroding her slowly.
[Cantarella looks sincerely a little pained, not trying to obscure that yes, she does in fact care.]
I would hate to put her in danger and would despise it more if she went into it alone.
I can speak with her...or, perhaps, since you brought us all here in the first place, you would want to?
[It's his house. She may have been the one to float the idea about seeing if Nozomi wanted to help, but Ludger has been leading admirably. Cantarella is nothing if not encouraging.
Cantarella's gaze turns to Wazy, too, to see if he has anything to add about expanding the circle in their little infirmary club.]
[He catches that gaze, reclining back against the wall and crossing his arms.]
I don't have any objections to that. I haven't spoken to her much myself, but I trust your judgments. Besides, she's seen firsthand what this infection can do--I'd be interested in hearing her viewpoint, too.

It was in a bottle! It didn't touch her!

She's so eager to help others... Such a sweet girl. [Unspoken: Cantarella is worried that willingness could end up making her vulnerable.]

... We're all in danger, Cantarella. But I wouldn't deliberately hurt her like that.
[ jeez ]

Cantarella gentles.]
Ludger, that's not what I mean. Accidents happen, that's all I fear. You care for her, too; I understand.
[She touches his shoulder, unworried about the contact.]
Have you thought about telling her about our little gatherings?

... If you think this would help her, then I'm alright with it. More hands is always good.
[ eventually this will expand to encompass everyone. probably.

I can talk to Nozomi, sure. Julius will probably join us at some point-
[ it's a conversation that's a work in progress. ]
-so is there anyone else either of you want to bring in?
[ he huffs a little laugh ]
I didn't mean for this to be an exclusive thing or anything - it's just easier to talk to a smaller group at times.
