yep still homeless

[flowerling]

There are lots of things I want to experience. I'm so grateful to my friends for giving me experiences and standing by me.

Where am I going next? What will I see? I hope I can start a garden there.

[shadowsofagod]

There are so many places to go, and so many things to see.

You like to garden?

[flowerling]

It sounds exciting.

Oh, yes. I have a large garden at home filled with sopheria flowers. I want to plant more in other places.

[shadowsofagod]

My sister's always been good with gardening. I don't think I've ever heard of sopherias though.

[flowerling]

They're very special flowers.

[shadowsofagod]

I see.

My mun says the boy I've been taking care of comes from the same world as you.

[flowerling]

I only know about Asbel and Hubert.

[shadowsofagod]

Ahh, he's neither of those I'm afraid.

His name's Lambda.

[flowerling]

....Lambda?

[shadowsofagod]

Yeah. He's got green hair and red eyes.

I wish I could get him to smile more.

[flowerling]

[Sophie has gone very quiet, her body tense]

[shadowsofagod]

Is something wrong?

[flowerling]

I have to fight Lambda.

[shadowsofagod]

Why? He's just a child.

[flowerling]

Not anymore.

[shadowsofagod]

He is where I am. He's lonely...and scared.

[flowerling]

I know. So was Richard.

[shadowsofagod]

I won't let anyone hurt him.

[flowerling]

[she doesn't know what to say] Okay.

[shadowsofagod]

How one is raised determines what they will become.

[flowerling]

How one is raised... [but that doesn't excuse what Lambda did, does it?]

[shadowsofagod]

I can guarantee he won't turn out however you say he does.

[flowerling]

I hope you're right.

[shadowsofagod]

Come and see for yourself if you're so worried about it.

[flowerling]

Where do I go?

[shadowsofagod]

We're living in a place called Paradise.

The name's deceiving, though. There's been a lot of trouble lately.

[flowerling]

Paradise... Like that castle.

[shadowsofagod]

Hm? What castle?

[flowerling]

Cair Paradisa.

[shadowsofagod]

Doesn't sound familiar to me.

[flowerling]

It's another place people go sometimes, when they leave their home world.

[shadowsofagod]

I see. The Paradise I know is a city, and a big one at that.

[flowerling]

What do you do in the city?

[shadowsofagod]

There's all kinds of things. There's a library, a bunch of different stores, a movie theater, and I've heard that there's an amusement park somewhere outside the city too. I haven't gotten to check it out yet, though.

[flowerling]

Do you have a president?

[shadowsofagod]

There's really not much of a government at all right now, but someone's trying to help set one up.

[flowerling]

Oh.

[shadowsofagod]

Yeah. Hopefully it gets running soon. It'll be nice to have a bit more order in the city.

[flowerling]

There's no one in charge?

[shadowsofagod]

Not right now. Although there's some evil god who thinks he is.

[flowerling]

An evil god?

[shadowsofagod]

Mm. He's trying to subject all of us to his rule, and has resorted to harming people.

[flowerling]

Someone should stop him.

[shadowsofagod]

We're trying. Organizing a resistance movement has been tough though.

[flowerling]

Hubert is good at organizing.

[shadowsofagod]

Oh? I think we need all the help we can get.

[flowerling]

Okay. I'll tell him.

[shadowsofagod]

Alright.
