Hi Miss Mun! You're really thinking about a game? I've never been in one before, so...

But you said that Rue would be there! And she's with her prince! I wonder if they dance together a lot...I miss watching them.

Oh, and Miss Edel, too! [Yup this has her bouncing.] It's been so long, I'd love to see her again.

Ah! What about Pique and Lilie? Or Mr. Cat? Or Miss Freya or Miss Hermia and maybe even Mr. Femio and oh! Miss Raetsel and Mr. Charon, ~~and wait would Uzura be there if Edel is there too?~~ And what about--?

...Eheheheh...sorry. [It doesn't even occur to her to ask about Fakir, after being by his side for so long as a duck.]

Ahiru?

[[Oh, hey there. She's missed you and has sort of been under the impression that she might never see you again ever.]]

[OH HI. She's sort of had that same impression when you went into the storybook and how does that even work oh well you're here and life is good.]

RUE!

[Ahiru is about one step away from attacking you with a hug.

...No, wait, too late. Have a face full of Ahiru as she unceremoniously glomps.]

Uwaagh--!

[[There is much flailing as she stumbles back. Way to knock her down, Ahiru.]]

[Ahiru spends a few good seconds giggling. It's a lot more fun to hug with arms rather than wings. After a moment, she remembers herself, and releases the vice hold. She can't let up on her beam though.]

Eheheh, I got too excited... But I've really, really wanted to see you again!

[[Once she recovers, Rue can't help but be happy. She clasps Ahiru's hands and smiles warmly.]]

I have missed you.

I've missed you, too...

Does this mean I can see you more? And Mytho and everyone else?

[[She shakes her head.]]

You mustn't let yourself be put into a game. Didn't you have enough of that with Drosselmeyer?

I shouldn't...?

Yeah, I don't ever want to be put in a story like Drosselme--

...Wait, I thought games were different from stories!

We're trapped and toyed with just the same. The only difference is that now everybody knows it.

...

[Wait what]

...So...it's not a place where everyone plays charades or blind man's bluff or...

[[She missed you, Ahiru. She missed you.]]

... It is not.

They shouldn't...they shouldn't call it a game, then! Games are supposed to be lots and lots of fun! [Well stories are supposed to be fun too but that's not the point.]

... In any case, you won't let her send you to one, right?

Well, I know I never want to be stuck in another story, where feelings are played around with. I know that's bad.

...But I also don't want you to be in one, either...

Well, there's nothing to be done about that, except for me to convince my mun to let me go.

R-right! Don't give up, Rue! I know you can do it! And I can help, too!

Does this mean that everyone else is also trapped in that kind of place...?

Help? What do you mean?

No, not everyone is here. It's just a few of us, really.

...Oh, well at first I thought I would turn into Princess Tutu and dance with her, but I guess I can't do that anymore, so...

But I'll think of something! No one should make Rue unhappy anymore!

[She nods at the last bit. Maybe it's not the whole town, but one friend being stuck in a place like Drosselmeyer's story again is one too many.]

[[... This probably is not the best time to tell Ahiru she's already been in the game for over two years.]]

The prince is with me now. You don't have to worry, all right?

[SHE STILL THINKS DANCING WOULD HELP, THOUGH. She did it as a duck. So maybe it can work. Maybe.]

But you sound like you really don't like it....

How can I dislike being where my prince is?

I--I wasn't saying that, I mean--!

You said that everyone was being wrapped and toyed with and that was really really bad last time so anyone would not like that and I'm sure you're very very happy with Mytho but I thought that maybe you would be a lot happier if you were with him and not in one of those...um.

[Aaand she lost her own train of thought.]
