[Hesitant at first] H...hello.
[Stronger]Hello, everyone. My name is Nico Robin and I'm happy to be back. And um...New Feathers...
[A rustling noise can be heard as if she's reading from a paper. She clears her throat] I will be happy to tell you anything you need to know about Luceti. Please come to me if you have any questions or concerns

[Her voice sounds small]
You um...must be one of the known-before people.
[You might hear some shuffling]
I...dunno if I can talk to you.

Robin-chan, what do you mean? [There are some very concerning implications in that statement] Why wouldn't you be able to talk to me?

B...but I like the sound of your voice so...maybe it's okay?

But Robin's next confession takes him back a step, and he can't help grinning a little - a grin that gains outward cheer to hide how off-balance he feels talking to his aged-down nakama.]
Oi, I'd never do anything to make Robin-chan unhappy~! I exist to fulfill your every wish and desire! [Which better include stealing you back home at some point. B|]

You're really weird, mister. Were we boyfriend and girlfriend in a past life or something?

N-no, no, nothing like that! [You're a few steps out of his league, there]
You and I are nakama.

[She really likes that word for some reason.]
But that's before-time so it doesn't count. I'm not supposed to think about anything from before-time. It will make me unhappy.
[A little pause]
Being happy is good. We should all be happy here.

But can you explain what this before-time is exactly?
Reply
Before-time is the bad time when I was sad and unhappy. The desperation made me do many un...uncon...uonconscionable things so I was reborn to Luceti so I will never have to be alone. Therefore, before-time should be avoided at all costs for the benefit of all parties.

He...he also said you might try to t...trick me. But you wo...wouldn't do that, would you?
[She doesn't want to believe it. She likes your voice too much to not believe but your words are making her nervous.]

He's got his best well-meaning and placid expression on, coupled with a soothing voice. This'll take some finesse and word-phrasing.]
But why do you trust "him", Robin-chan? Who is he, anyway? Is it okay to tell me that?

He...he helped me. Saved me from being hurt and made me happy. He w...worked really hard s...so don't mess it up!

Sorry; I guess it's hard for me not to worry.

It's okay, mister. He just...he gets mad sometimes. But I'm happy so don't worry.
[a pause]
I should stop talking now...
[Another pause]
But I don't want to. Do you know any stories?
