[The vines start recording without her noticing. She's sitting on a rock, gently sobbing. She's still getting used to things and she misses her mother. After the recent hope of going home being dashed, she's a little sad. Her tears slow and she wipes them with the back of her hand. She notices the mirror and smiles shakily.]Oh, I guess it's

Hey there, don't go saying it's nothing, it makes sense that you would feel down given the circumstances. I miss my home too, I think a lot of people do, and I'm pretty sure no one likes being kidnapped. Everyone's allowed to feel down once and a while.

Just know that we're going to find a way home, even if it's not as soon as we'd like.

[magicglowyhair]

It's just so strange being here. I spent my whole life in my tower. Mother was always there to protect me. It's like learning how to live again, you know?

Do you think it's possible? I'm not sure the Queen will want to change her mind anymore.

[knowsfly]

It must be very strange to leave home for the first time like this, but maybe this is a good opportunity for you. We all have to leave our parents at some point to start our own journeys, and maybe here you can think about what path you want to walk.

[Wink] Hey now, I've flown all over the world, and if there's one thing that's true everywhere, it's that where there's a will there's a way. If she won't let us go, then we'll find another way home.

[She's thoughtful about that, deciding it isn't all bad. It's still scary, but in a different way.] I've never thought about that, before. Mother always told me I'd be with her.

You've flown around the world? That's so cool! Maybe I'll make it my goal to see as many places as I can. When we get home, there are a lot of places I want to visit.

However comfortable our nests may seem, we all have to leave them one day.

That I have, on both my Pokemon and my plane. Anywhere with a sky isn't out of my reach. You should! Life's too short to stay all cooped up.

[magicglowyhair]

Yeah, I guess you're right. I was already sneaking out when I found myself here. I was going to go back, but I guess it's a little hard now.

Pokemon? Plane? I've never heard of those before.

[knowsfly]

Then maybe this is life's way of telling you that you were right about wanting to get out into the world.

Really? Oh, then we are going to have a lot to talk about!

[magicglowyhair]

Yeah, you know, you're right. I couldn't stay up in that tower any longer. I was practically ready to burst!

I can't wait to hear all about them. They sound fascinating.

[knowsfly]

I can tell! People aren't meant to be cooped up forever, we have to be free to go out and find our place in the world.

Well then, whenever you have a couple hours to pass, just give me a ring.

[magicglowyhair]

I'm definitely going to have to explore all that I can. There's so many new things here I'd never even dreamed about.

Okay! I'll let you know when I'm free.

[knowsfly]

Great! I'll see you then.
