I think I'll go out and get more supplies today. Yui, Jillia... send me a note about anything you want me to pick up on the way.

It's almost the end of year. I wonder how it'll come here in Discedo? I don't think celebrating with a banquet or something like that is probably a good idea here, anyway.

I will, Jowy.

The end of the year... It will be different from before, won't it? With the traditions people have here.

{ voice }

[blightender]

Yeah.

I don't think I ever thought I'll be spending the new year like this.

{ voice }

[highland_style]

Neither do I. How could you imagine such a place?

{ voice }

[blightender]

It's...

Unimaginable. [ pause. Maybe, he did. Maybe. ]

{ voice }

[highland_style]

[ She'll return that pause. ]

In a way though... we're fortunate, aren't we?

{ voice }

[blightender]

[ Pause... ]

That we're together like this...?

{ voice }

[highland_style]

Yes...

We're not alone here.

{ voice }

[blightender]

I know.

[ more awkward pauses. Subject change! ]

Do you need more blankets?

{ voice }

[highland_style]

[ Be like that then. ]

We should have more in case it's colder later.

{ voice }

[blightender]

[ Sorry, Jillia. Your husband keeps a lot of it bottled in :| ]

And food? Do we have enough?

{ voice }

[highland_style]

[ She knows by now, but this isn't the time to bring it up. ]

We can take from the inventory still; we don't need to worry about food right now.

When will you return?

{ voice }

[blightender]

A few hours.

[ pause ]

I'm sorry... I know I keep leaving you and Yui behind like this.

{ voice }

[highland_style]

I know. Has something been going on lately?

{ voice }

[blightender]

...it's nothing to worry about.

{ voice }

[highland_style]

If that's the case, please tell me.

{ voice }

[blightender]

It's just me being stubborn.
