Are there always so many people sustaining grievous injury from one another, or have the last couple of days been special?

Eto . . . I really hope it's just special.

Are a lot of people that you know injuring one another?

[small_comfort]

Well, not as such. Most of them aren't people I knew beforehand, and except for one of them, I don't think they were injured by anyone I know, either...

[fistsofjustice]

Oh.

. . . That's good, at least!

. . . Somewhat?

[small_comfort]

Yes!
Um, maybe.

[fistsofjustice]

It's a little scarier when they're people you know. Or when they come after *you.* ^^;

Ah! I'm Amelia; I don't think we've met!

[small_comfort]

Th-that's true.
I really hope that's not going to happen.

I'm Hanatarou. It's very nice to meet you, Miss Amelia.

[fistsofjustice]

I hope not too. I had Lina-san come after me, and that was . . . really bad.

Hanatarou-san -- it's nice to meet you too! Have you been in the city long?

[small_comfort]

Are you both all right now, I hope?

A little while. It'll have been four weeks in a few days.

[fistsofjustice]

Ah . . . yes. It's okay. She's even repaired the hole in the wall. ^^;

Me too! Though sometimes it seems like longer than that, ne?

[small_comfort]

Hole in the--
Oh dear. I'm very glad that's all been sorted out!!

Sort of. I wouldn't have expected to feel like I was getting used to it nearly this quickly.

[fistsofjustice]

Well, she threw a spell at me, so . . . ^^; But yes, it's all repaired. It's even got a picture of a flower on it. With . . . fangs.

Really? You feel used to it?

[small_comfort]

Speaking of flowers with fangs, did you know there's a type of flower that can talk and is a person??

Well... not used to it used to it...
But I kind of have my daily routine and everything.

[fistsofjustice]

. . . Really?? What kind of flower is that?

Ah, that's good to have! I guess I do too . . . except I have to admit it would be nice to see some people from back home.

[small_comfort]

A lunar flower!

I'm lucky enough to have quite a few people here that are from my world.

[fistsofjustice]

What's a lunar flower? I've never seen one. It looks like a person? Does it look like a flower sort of person -- green and petal-ly?

That's really lucky! I have some -- I think if otousan and Gourry-san were here too, it would be perfect. People make a lot of the difference, ne?

[small_comfort]

Um... I don't know! I've only spoken with her over the network.

They do.
But there are some wonderful people from other worlds, too.
