[Shortly before Deadman's Gulch closes and sends everyone scurrying back to Mayfield, Seborga leaves of his own volition.  He actually walked the whole way back to town, which is how anyone who knows him can tell that something is wrong.  At his side is a young teenage girl with white hair - the drone of White Len.  She looks a little nervous and

[Sealand's sitting on the shore of the lake, looking rather worse for wear but exhaustedly happy with himself, even though Sealand--the fort, in the lake now--is kind of missing pieces of itself.]

Did you see the robot's gone?

[sub_umbra_sedi]

[Seborga sits down next to him, nodding and looking out pensively at the lake.]

Yeah.

[Sighing a little.]

So... you're okay, right?

[fuckyeahsealand]

Yeah, I totally helped save the day.

[Just don't ask him to stand up.]

Did you get hurt or anything?

[sub_umbra_sedi]

[He shakes his head.]

I just hid. And then went to that Western town.

[fuckyeahsealand]

Well good. You couldn't kill him with flowers. What's the Western town like?

[sub_umbra_sedi]

There wasn't much there. No people, either. I slept through most of it. I actually just got back.

[Seborga sighs again, hugging his knees to his chest and resting his chin on top of them.]

[fuckyeahsealand]

So what's wrong? [Shifting a little to get a better look at Seborga.]

[sub_umbra_sedi]

[It's a few moments before Seborga responds.]

...There's a girl I like, that I've been hanging out with for a while. I saw her in the other town, and we talked and took a nap together. But when we woke up, she was...

[He stops there as his voice hitches a little, and he just buries his head.]

[fuckyeahsealand]

[It takes Sealand a minute to figure out what Seborga means by "she was".]

But don't they snap out of that after a while? So she could come back.

[sub_umbra_sedi]

M-maybe...

[mumbling into his knees]

[fuckyeahsealand]

So... It'll be okay. [He has no idea how to talk to someone about this sort of thing, can you tell.]

[sub_umbra_sedi]

[Seborga unburies his head, staring back out at the lake.]

Yeah... maybe.

[fuckyeahsealand]

[Awkward awkward awkward]

Do you think they'll let me use the mech parts to rebuild Sealand?

I wish there were more Seborga icons out there, le sigh

[sub_umbra_sedi]

Can't hurt to ask, right?

[fuckyeahsealand]

I helped kill it, maybe I'll just take the pieces. I dunno if... [A-ahaha] Well it'll all work out! [a-a-ahaha?]

[sub_umbra_sedi]

...I bet you looked really cool fighting the robot.

[Finally smiling just a little.]
