[When the feed comes on, the communicator is facing the wall; it buzzes like a shock, but no one is holding it, so it just spazzes on the table a little and turns in a small circle. When the picture stops, Namine can be seen in the far left corner, sitting in her usual chair by the window. Now that the communicator has stopped buzzing, the people

That was...very beautiful. In a very sad and morbid way.

...I am sorry. That is not quite appropriate I suppose.

[dustedsunlight]

O-Oh, well--

As long as I didn't bother you with my singing, I suppose, I... Well, I really didn't know the communicator was on.

It's just something I know from this city.

[betrayedblade]

No, of course not. It was actually very... pleasant. I do not hear much song here, and certainly not as pretty as that.

...Is it? Where did you hear it?

[dustedsunlight]

Oh, well you're very kind. Thank you.

It... it was about a year ago. There were these ghosts in the city, and one... one sang this song to me. They said they were the real people, that lived here before us.

With the... recent events, I feel like maybe they'll be back. I thought if they heard the song, it might make them feel more at home or something.

[betrayedblade]

You're welcome.

...Ghosts coming back home? Hmm. [...] You would do that for them? Make them more at ease?

[dustedsunlight]

Well... I would think if I was taken from my home and had the chance to come back, I would want it to feel the same as I remember. Since we've changed the city so much, maybe... maybe it'll make them happy that they connect to something.

[betrayedblade]

Yes, but the city was not like this to begin with. Perhaps the change would be enough...

It is nice what you do either way.

[dustedsunlight]

Well, thank you. I don't do it for myself after all.

It... must've been beautiful, back in the days of it's youth.

[betrayedblade]

It was at least beautiful to its people once...

[dustedsunlight]

I think it's still beautiful to people now.

I know it's still beautiful to me.

[betrayedblade]

That is gracious of you.

[dustedsunlight]

Well, it's my home. Besides, I've met so many wonderful people because of this city... it may not look very nice, but it's people make it shine.

... Oh, pardon me, I never introduced myself. I'm Namine.

[betrayedblade]

I suppose that is one way to look at it. And indeed there are some people here I am glad to have met.

I should have offered. I am Giovanni Auditore. You are one of Prydains friends, yes?

[dustedsunlight]

Mhmm. We do the best we can.

Don't worry about it, but yes, I am. We knew each other back in our world.

[betrayedblade]

If you live over in Gohl you've probably seen me then. My apologies for not properly introducing myself before--I don't want to impose on all of you children... that is-- [He pauses, sighs.] I don't want to make any of you uncomfortable.

[Basically he comes to visit Prydain and help out a lot but doesn't talk too much. He doesn't want anyone to think he's trying to dictate over them or anything. He likes all of the Gohl kids.]

[dustedsunlight]

I wouldn't say you're making me uncomfortable... but I'm sure I've seen you before somewhere. Besides, any friend of Prydain's is a friend of mine.
