→ I. DORMS - SECOND FLOOR

[ From inside of room 2-19, a quavering voice comes drifting out into the hallway. Amalia is sitting on her bed with the pair of letters in her hands with their paper crinkling as she frets, shaking her head back and forth so that her bright green hair swung around her shoulders. ]

No, no, this can't be right! Eva-- Evangelyne? Where are you?

[ She gets off the bed and goes to the door, but hasn't seemed to have found the strength to step out into the hallway yet. There's a pause and then her voice rises to an unhappy shriek. ]

AND WHAT AM I WEARING?!

---

→ II. CAFETERIA

[ Thankfully she located her clothing in the trunk at the foot of her bed, saving her from having to grow all new ones. In fact there were several of her outfits inside, along with some possessions from her room at home. Along with the encouragement and explanations of the people who'd helped her on the second floor, she was cautiously making her way down to the cafeteria. ]

Oh Sadida... did I get lost already?

[bewareofdog]

Haw?

How am I bein' confusin'?

[terraformagica]

Arghh! Let's just start over.

Hello, it's nice to meet you. I'm Amalia, what's your name?

[bewareofdog]

All right, Miss Potty-Mouth Amalia.

I am Goro Majima. [A slight tilt of his head.]

[terraformagica]

[ See the totally mature princess stomping her bare foot on the floor. ]

Ooh! You're really getting on my nerves! There's no need for name calling!

[bewareofdog]

Mmn...

I might have gone a bit too far. Yer shook up about what happened, right?

1/2

[terraformagica]

Hmph, I should say so! You're very lucky I'm going to overlook it!

2/2

[terraformagica]

[ but the spoiled princess facade cracks when he mentions her situation ]

I... I don't know what to believe right now. Several people have confirmed to me the contents of those letters, but...

I'm afraid my heart would break if it's really true.

[bewareofdog]

Why's that?

[terraformagica]

Because I love my home, and I've seen in almost destroyed twice in the last two years.

[bewareofdog]

Twice?

What the hell's wrong with yer world? Environmental problems?

[terraformagica]

[ The statement is so absurd that it momentarily breaks Amalia's unhappy mood and she starts to laugh. ]

No, nothing like that. There was Nox... and Qilby... they were just men who wanted to destroy everything and we stopped them, my friends and I.

[bewareofdog]

I see.

Yer like a superhero, then?

[terraformagica]

[ Her mouth opens in a little "o" of surprise. ]

I... well, not-- I never really thought about it. Yugo's the real hero.

[bewareofdog]

But ya helped right?

[terraformagica]

Mm, I did. It was the grandest adventure I could've wished for.

[bewareofdog]

Then, don't go sayin' that ya ain't one. Just because ya may not have been the leader doesn't mean that yer part wasn't just as important. Got it?

[terraformagica]

[ She stares at him for a moment as though trying to discern whether he's mocking her or not. But then her expression smooths into a smile. ]

Yes, you're right. Thank you for the good advice, Goro.

[bewareofdog]

[ He suddenly takes a moment to get awkward and grimaces. Rubbing his nose, he nods once. ]

Everythin' is part of a system and none of it is any less important. So yer welcome to that knowledge.

[terraformagica]

That sounds like something my father would say.

[bewareofdog]

Haw? Well, I am a father, technically.

[terraformagica]

... technically?

[bewareofdog]

I got "kids" of my own, but they're not my blood. They're closer than that to me. I am the patriarch of my group, my family. It's part of another clan... a family in and of itself. So those that are younger than me joinin' in, they're my "kids."

[terraformagica]

That sounds really wonderful. And I don't think family has to only be people who are directly related to you -- after all, we're all linked in other ways.

[bewareofdog]

Of course. [ He nods. ] And you got to respect those bonds.

[terraformagica]

Are they here? I'd like to meet them if I could.
