Doubt

[littlehat]

I-I don't know if this is such a good idea, miss mun. The dragons sound s-scary, and none of my friends are coming along. What am I going to do there? More exploring? Shouldn't I stay with Zidane and the others? I know I don't get a real say in this, but...

There's plenty to do if you know where to look. And try not to worry about the dragons. They're mostly harmless. [ ... sort of. ]

[littlehat]

[Here, Helen, have a wide-eyed look.]

'Mostly'?

[lifelines]

They tend to like making us experience "events," which alter our perceptions of each other and even the world around us. They aren't usually malicious, or haven't been so far. I wouldn't worry too much about them, honestly.

[littlehat]

Oh. That... sounds interesting. What kind of events?

[lifelines]

Anything that suits their fancy, really. Currently, we're experiencing a family sort of event, where most of us have had our perceptions warped so that we believe we're related to others. I won't complain too much about the family I have, but it will be difficult when we all snap out of it.

[littlehat]

It sounds like they're... really powerful.

[lifelines]

They can be. But so are we.

[tosavecocoon]

Maybe they'll come after you. Sometimes that happens.

[littlehat]

Should I leave a note? Would that help?

[tosavecocoon]

[ she shakes her head, smiling brightly. ]

I don't know. You could try. Most of my family was already there when I got there, but I think just being there might help bring yours.

[littlehat]

Okay! I'll write a note, then.

[This seems to cheer him up.]

If I don't, Zidane might get lost in a a crowd of girls and forget.

[tosavecocoon]

[ vanille is good at cheering people up. ]

Does he have a lot of girls following him?

[littlehat]

[Vivi shakes his head.]

No, he follows them.

[tosavecocoon]

Does he like them?

[littlehat]

I guess so. He talks about them a lot. And going on dates.

[tosavecocoon]

[ that makes her giggle. ] There's a lot more to the world than that, you know.

[littlehat]

[Vivi adjusts his hat shyly.]

I know that. But it's all he talks about.

[tosavecocoon]

[ she grins brightly. ]

He needs to see more of the world, then. Any world! Maybe if he follows you, we can both show him things!

[littlehat]

I'd like that. [He's sure Zidane would, too, but he doesn't mention it.] I really prefer reading and exploring...

[tosavecocoon]

There's lots to explore and plenty of libraries! I bet you'll find something you like easily!
