Miss Mun?

Are you sure you don't know where Cornelius is? I mean... I've been in that game for a while, and I still have no clue where he could be!

And what's "prom"? Is it some sort of music? I know you've been imagining some sort of dancing, but I really don't feel like dancing.

...Well, I suppose I could if you really wanted me to, but that won't help anyone or anything.



Really, you don't have any idea where he is? Or Jaquimo? Or even the Veil of the Fairies?

[Siiigh.]

Oh... I guess this really is impossible...

[brokeandbent]

Please, don't be sad.

I-I'm sure this Cornelius of yours is looking for you too Miss. You shouldn't give up hope...

[liftmehighabove]

But I'll never be able to find him!

...I'm too small and too far away. [Stupid game, stupid mun. They're such meanies.]

Holy crap this is too perfect!

[dances_with_beans]

Hello?

Oh, much too perfect!

[liftmehighabove]

O-oh, hello...

[Another small person? But how can this be? The only other small people she knows of are magic beings of the fey type.]

...Are you a fairy?

[dances_with_beans]

[Fairy? What the heck's a fairy?]

No. I'm a borrower...isn't that what you are?

[liftmehighabove]

Well, no. I've even "borrowed" anything, come to think of it.

[And, well. Arrietty will have about an inch to an inch and a half on Thumbelina. Thank you, Google. Perhaps... they're not quite the same.]

I'm just a girl.

[dances_with_beans]

[Meh, there's always technicalities.]

No, I am too but...[sigh] never mind.

My name is Arrietty.

[liftmehighabove]

It's very nice to meet another small person! My name is Thumbelina.

[She gives a quick curtsy.]

[sirenspell]

Impossible is an awfully harsh word, Lina.

[liftmehighabove]

Well, it's true. This world is just too big for me. I'll never find Cornelius. Not with the Academy and the Mist, and certainly not out here.

[You're far too easily discouraged, Thumbelina.]

[sirenspell]

[She thinks about this for a moment, her eyes never leaving Thumbelina's face. It's hard to offer encouragement without knowing anything about the person her new friend misses so. She speaks gently.]

What did Cornelius tell you the last time you saw him?

[liftmehighabove]

[She's quiet for a moment, thinking back... oh, it feels like so long ago!]

He said he would be back for me in the morning... and that he would never forget me. Not ever.

[oodelally]

Chin up dear, I'm sure he'll be around.

If not, there's some other lovely folk coming 'round to keep you company, I hear. At least 'til he finds his way back to you.

[liftmehighabove]

Oh, I hope so Robin. But this world is so big... maybe he won't be able to.

...Wait... other folks? What other folks? You mean Esmeralda and Demyx?
