 [09:33] GT: Acenia sits on the floor, pulling her dress over her knees. Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

 [09:33] TA: Thiago walks up to his sister and smiles, but it looks forced, as if he's in pain, though it doesn't seem to be from Acenia's presence. "Are you ready?"

 [09:34] GT: "I think so. I captchalogued a lot of my belongings just in case. How about you?" Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

 [09:36] TA: He gives a shaky sigh. "I think so."

 [09:36] GT: "You okay? You seem nervous!" Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

 [09:38] TA: He nods and forces another smile. "That's for sure. / It's more that I'm worried for Tethys though, / or perhaps that I'm going to miss her."

 [09:40] GT: "Oh! I asked Tethys to keep in contact with Merrow and I. Maybe if she's low on time, I will pass on her notes to you?" Acenia is concerned. "I know I'll miss Merrow too... but it's probably better we're not on a team together..." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

 [09:42] TA: "Maybe you're right, but we have self control." He laughs and sticks his tongue out.

 [09:43] GT: "Maybe!" She scratches behind her ear nervously. "I feel like... as much as we know, we're never going to know what we need to make sure we tackle this land properly." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

 [09:44] GT: "What even are the criteria for "winning" or is it just kind of a... feeling you get? Or do you know cause the world disappears? I feel really unprepared..." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

 [09:45] TA: "I don't know... It's hard to say, perhaps both?

 [09:45] TA: "Although I doubt the world will disappear."

 [09:46] GT: "Maybe not." She pats the ground next to her. Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

 [09:47] TA: He sits down and runs a hand through his hair. "It's just a lot at once."

 [10:17] GT: "I know the feeling... Honestly, I feel like the least prepared here sometimes!" She forces a laugh. Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

 [10:17] TA: "You, what? No way!" He elbows her.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:18] GT: "Really!" Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:19] TA: He chuckles. "And what makes you say that, little sister?"

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:20] GT: "Since this started, everything has been surprises! Surprise gravity jump, surprise betrothal, surprise game, surprise parent, surprise conflict between well... everyone." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:21] TA: He cmiles sheepishly. "I'm working on that..."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:22] GT: "Hm? What do you mean?" Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:23] TA: "Not causing conflict."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:23] GT: "I don't think it can be helped..." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:25] TA: He grimaces.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:25] GT: "Are you sure you're okay?" Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:27] TA: "For one thing, my client dislikes me so. / I'm going into some crazy new land..." He shrugs. "I'm as good as anyone else, I guess."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:28] GT: "Oh... how do you know? And I'm sorry. We should all be working together..." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:30] TA: He shakes his hand at her. "No, no, no. I'm not blaming you at all." He laughs.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:33] GT: "Ah, but... I mean... isn't that the responsibility of someone who's at least been told they'll be empress someday?" Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:34] TA: He pats her hand. "Someday, but not now. Remember that, sis."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:34] TA: "It's a learning process, as always is."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:34] GT: "And in the meantime, do I stay passive or practice so that I'll know which mistakes not to make?" Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:37] TA: "Of course you make note of your mistakes, but / that doesn't mean you beat yourself up eh?"

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:38] GT: "Well. It's mostly that... If I make mistakes, how can I get everyone to respect me later knowing that? Growing is all fine, but people don't forget." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:39] TA: "You'll need friends to defend you through all that."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:40] GT: Acenia shifts uncomfortably Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:40] GT: "Probably..." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:43] GT: "It's bad. I almost don't want to go..." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:43] TA: "To Lily's land?"

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:44] GT: "Well. To any of them. Mine was so depressing. None of them really sound very fun. Even Erisio's sounds dangerous. Terror." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:46] TA: "Mine is pretty bad too."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:47] GT: "What was it again?" Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:48] TA: He grimaces. "The fun land of Tempest and Sonata."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:49] GT: "Tempest doesn't really sound fun. But better than Terror! Or Graves." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:49] TA: "You should see the storms."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:50] GT: "They're survivable, right?" Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:50] TA: "I didn't go out." He shrugs. "They don't look to survivable!" He laughs, but in a 'lets never do that ever' kind of way.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:51] GT: "What if we have to at some point?" Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:53] TA: "Then we will brings lots, LOTS, of umbrellas."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:53] TA: He smirks.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:53] GT: Oh.... Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:53] GT: ": Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:55] TA: He raises an eyebrow. "Oh?"

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:56] GT: "What do you think everyone else is doing taking so long?" Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:56] TA: "Preparing. Saying good bye. You know?"

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:56] TA: She shrugs. "It's what I did."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:57] GT: "ah..." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:57] TA: "This just feels all too real."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:58] GT: "Really? I was going to say unreal..." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [10:59] TA: I'd say the line between the two is blurred."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [11:00] GT: "Ah..." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [11:01] GT: "Maybe I should go do some extra preparing too?" Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [11:02] TA: "It might be a good idea." he smiles and pats her knee. "I'll be here."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [11:03] GT: Acenia seems a bit confused by the gesture, and stands up. Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [11:03] GT: "Thank you Thiago." Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [11:03] TA: He nods.

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [11:03] TA: "Anytime."

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [11:05] GT: Acenia heads to her room. Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"> [11:07] TA: Thiago leans back against the wall and begins to perfect his nails.
