>Do we really think Nitori's hotheadedness could cause her to rush into serious danger, or drag the rest of us into it to protect her? Do we think she could risk sparking conflicts we might have been trying to avoid or talk our way out of?
>How long/well have we known her, anyway?
>You've only really known her since you moved into Moonside. Prior to that, you knew her only by her reputation as an erratic but talented mechanic.
>Rin is correct when she says that Nitori can be reckless but she isn't stupid. If presented with, for example, the Fire Champion, her first instinct would in all likelihood be to charge it once she knew what he was like. But when confronting something like that Titan you fought yesterday, you don't think she'd charge blindly forward automatically. From what you know of her, she wouldn't be as hostile towards the Champions as Kiku is, but she might very well take the fight to them just as quickly. Except maybe for the Ice Champion.
>You might not need to protect her as much as you might think, either. As a Kappa, Nitori possesses a level of stamina and resistance to harm superior to that of humans. The Light power that you wield would, in all likelihood, enhance that stamina even farther. If you were able to recruit Nitori, she could very well turn out to be the toughest of all of you. She may put herself in positions where she'd absorb more damage than the rest of you, but she'd be able to take it. The pragmatic part of you can see the advantages of this. If playing all the RPGs you have has taught you anything, it's that having a solid tank can be vital, and for right now, that is actually something you've been lacking. Unless you count yourself.
>But as for Nitori making talking your way out of a potential fight a bit more difficult, you have to admit that yes, this is the most likely outcome. However, it can't be any more of a task than keeping Kiku controlled, and you've done a fairly good job of that so far. Nitori may be impulsive, but she's not violent by nature.
