[It seems that amidst recovering mostly all of her memory, a certain pink-haired Lake Guardian seems to have found some flowers about her travels around the island. The flora in her collective pile are quite colorful, spanning all the colors of the rainbow... maybe there's even some Gracideas too... and it seems like the playful sprite is making

His approach is a measured one, though not lacking confidence; even if the apparent contentment she's feeling doesn't quite reach her eyes, he doesn't press right away - if something is really wrong, it'll make itself known in the end.]
You have a rather interesting little project going on there.
[He tips his head slightly, a vague sort of smile appearing across his features.]
It's good to see you again - it's been quite some time.

Oh, thank you! They've turned out nice, don't you think so?
[She manages to smile happily back with a chuckle, her mind trying to remember who exactly he is. Blinking a couple of times is sign enough that the name alludes her at the moment. She feels bad that he knows her, yet Mesprit's managed to forget him... A light bit of nervousness is clearly in her voice.]
Ah, I guess so... I'm sorry, but what's your name again? I seem to have... forgotten it. [She blushes in embarrassment, hoping he doesn't mind her asking.]

There's no need for concern, though I admit that in a way it's flattering; your affairs tend to be separate from those of humans, after all.
[And that soft smile hasn't faded as he speaks.]
My name is Lucian.

Ah, I'm glad you're not upset with me. To be honest, I had amnesia some time ago. Things are still coming back to me and some memories are a little bit fuzzy... [Mesprit stops weaving, looking back at him with a smile.] but this time, I'll be sure not to forget you, Lucian!

[That catches his attention; he looks up from where he's been watching her hands, arching an eyebrow as his gaze returns to her face.]
I don't suppose you've been able to find out the cause of this, have you...?
Reply
No, I haven't. All I can remember is that it just happened all of a sudden while I was changing back to this human forme some time ago, and then I just couldn't remember anything clearly at all. [The sprite grows silent for a moment, probably because of bad memories. However, Mesprit's slight moment of sadness doesn't last for long, her eyes becoming bright with a sense of relief.] It felt so weird to learn everything all over again, but I'm glad that things are coming back to me.

[Though he doesn't comment further on the subject, the look in Lucian's eyes implies that he's still a bit unsettled by this bit of information that she's given him; any unpleasantness in his expression doesn't last long, however, before he gestures lightly to the general area she's sitting in.]
Do you mind if I join you?
Reply
[His request, however, manages to cheer her up... rather quickly, to be honest. At least she's smiling once again.] Ah, sure you can! I don't mind at all!

He tips his head in the direction of the flowers as though to indicate, though his eyes remain on hers.]
Memory or not, it seems you've been keeping yourself busy. You have quite the assortment, after all.
[That smile is back; though there's a bit of a teasing note in his voice, there's an unmistakable lightness to his tone - clearly, nothing's meant by it.]

Ah, I have... I just found these while roaming around the island, and the instructions... I found these this morning when I woke up. [Now she's just going on about her flowers. It's adorable how excited she is about such a simple thing, but she is still a Naive sprite.] It's amazing what different flowers there are in different places! Some of these I've never seen near Lake Verity before... [She smiles with a happy giggle as she picks up a few of them - probably to finish up her latest piece.]

You certainly seem to enjoy this place. For the most part, anyway.
[He picks up one of the crowns she's set down nearby, turning it over in his hands as he examines it.]
It's good to see you so happy, Mesprit.
Reply
And actually, I feel happy too... [Her smile turns a little soft, maybe a bit sad even. Her eyelids lower, gazing at a flower in her grasp and sniffing its still lingering scent. It's enough to make a bit of pink dust against her cheeks.] Very happy...
Reply
[He sets the crown back on the rock he had picked it up from, returning his attention to her.]
I like to think that regardless of where we are, we're there for a reason. This island may not be the region we're accustomed to, but I think that same line of thinking applies here, too - even if the reason we're here is nothing more than finding out what we'll do in these unusual circumstances.
[He hesitates briefly before continuing on, though it isn't terribly obvious; he's casual about it, as though it's nothing more than a pause in speaking.]
Not to pry, but...has something been on your mind?
Reply
But things have changed for her lately - the amnesia had affected the sprite in more ways than one. Her personality is different than before, though her Naive nature continues to shine through. However, learning about what she had done prior to her memory loss has made her worry... What other things had she done that she hasn't remembered?
His question takes her by surprise at first, but then her body admits her feelings. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to have someone to talk about her problems with. Besides, she gets a sense of understanding from him - he's definitely someone she can trust.] Well, yes. Something ( ... )
Reply
His expression is patient as he glances her over; even if it isn't immediately obvious, she seems...somewhat anxious. Shaken, perhaps.
It wouldn't exactly be right to not offer to do something about it, now would it?]
You can tell me anything you like, you know.
Reply
Okay... Um, Lucian... H-have you ever done something that you know you'd never do?
