Be careful, everyone. We can endure this too.

If anyone needs it, they will find sanctuary here with me. I will put up what wards I can against whatever is being sent at us this time.

If you're a potential target, stay inside, and stay with others.

And I hope I need not say again that I will do whatever I can.

We can do this. We know it. So

Hiding away seems to be just letting this thing know we're afraid.

[sorighteously]

Please, Riqis, I agree - goddesses, would that we could all fight, or all those capable at least. But with you a target it would not be wise.

[myownmemory]

Hnph. So you're really going to just board us all up till they're not satisfied with what they've found?

(orz she feels terrible)

[sorighteously]

I am sorry.

Re: (orz she feels terrible)

[myownmemory]

We're not so helpless. If half of us couldn't fight, it would be different. But I know Sora and Riku can, and Roxas can...

[sorighteously]

I know, Riqis. I know you're all fighters in your own right.

[Locked]

Can I trust you?

[myownmemory]

So it's humiliating to expect us to just sit and be watched over like babies.

[Locked]

You shouldn't ask that. Liars will always say "Yes" anyway.

[sorighteously]

I know, and I'm sorry, but it's for the best. Believe me, I know, I know... all too well.

[Locked]

Wise words, but oft you can tell anyway. I will trust you, regardless.

Would you give me a compromise?

[myownmemory]

Well you're a girl, of course...sometimes...that's different. But some girls are strong enough to stand up to things that seem a lot stronger. Even without using a sword.

[locked]

I try and keep my promises.

Is anyone around here really going to give me any other choice?

...What kind of compromise.

[sorighteously]

It has little to do with my gender, Riqis, I assure you.

[Locked]

Stay within the boundaries of my wards, stay close to me, and take up arms alongside me to fight what ever comes at us. And promise me, please Riqis promise me, that if we come close to being overwhelmed, you will go back inside.

[myownmemory]

Well...then you just know, I guess.

[locked]

Only if you promise to fall back with me, Lady Zelda. You'd be worse to lose around here than me. You're someone important to a lot of people in this place.

[sorighteously]

Such was my place.

[Locked]

I cannot say I like that, but... yes. Alright. You have my word.

It will likely be best if this does not become common knowledge, however. Do you think Sora and Riku should join us?

[myownmemory]

Your place? You mean the Crimson King's out for you, or people don't want you fighting because you're a healer?

[locked]

And you have mine.

Them? Nnh- ....No, I'd rather not fight next to them. You can put them on the back door or something....right?

[sorighteously]

No, no, this was... before I came here, in my own home.

[Locked]

Alright. You and I, then. We can keep each other safe.

[myownmemory]

What's it like there?

[Locked]

Okay. Thanks.

[sorighteously]

Beautiful. Vast green fields and blue mountains, as far as you could see, and the races lived almost in harmony. But... we were attacked. By an old, old evil.

[Locked]

I would tell you not to make me regret my decision, but I have faith in that already.
