I heard that a heavy conscience can produce wild dreams but...

Anyone mind pinching me? I just want to know and hope that maybe I'm not dreaming.

You must rather like it here then.

I couldn't leave behind Chrono and Rosette. I'd hate to see the dama-

[swordofchrist]

Ah-!

[swordofchrist]

....Mary?

[vaguelines]

Oh. Yes? I'm afraid I must apologize, but do I know you?

[swordofchrist]

I supposed I have matured quite a bit.

It's me....Ewan.

[vaguelines]

[A little happy sounding gasp.]

Oh! Ewan, I'm sorry. I didn't recognize you. It must have been some time for you then. How are you? Is Father with you?

[swordofchrist]

I'm fine, Mary. It has been a while. A long while. So...no. I'm actually one myself now.

[vaguelines]

That's wonderful. Congratulations, Ewan. Though I suppose I should call you Father now, shouldn't I? [A little laugh.]

[swordofchrist]

Ewan is fine. I hear Father all the time and I wouldn't mind a little change of pace.

[vaguelines]

Very well then, Ewan.

It's nice to talk to you again. I'm sorry if I worried you when I left the Order before. But it wasn't really something I could tell the Order. You understand, don't you?

[swordofchrist]

I really wish I would have known but what happened, happened. You can't really change that and I'm just glad I could see you again.

[vaguelines]

Yes, you're right.

I am as well. We should go for a walk sometime, I think it would be nice. Is that all right with you? I am sure there is many things to talk about.

[swordofchrist]

I would love to but I warn you, I'm not that naive boy I used to be.

Chrono is watching. And isn't jealous at all! ...Nope. No...twinge of jealousy here.

That's quite all right. Everyone changes, and people grow older. But to me, I'm afraid you will most likely still be the younger Ewan I know. Even if it has been some time.
