[onedayaqueen]

Excuse me. I hate to be a bother--if I can even figure this device out properly…

Is there anyone who can tell me, or at least perhaps give me a better understanding of just… well, there are a lot of things, I suppose, but… [she groans] Pick one thing to start with, Gwen.For starters-how is any of this possible? The fish transporting us-well,

I'm new here, myself, so...

If it helps, it's easier to accept something is possible when it's right in front of you. You can find out more about how and why if you stop questioning its existence.

voice;

[onedayaqueen]

Were you in one of those little boats, too, then?

I suppose if something is right in front of you, it's rather hard to be dismissive of it. And I can't imagine this is some sort of--some sort of, I don't know... large scale illusion or something.

voice;

[power_in_bonds]

Yeah, I was.

...wouldn't an illusion of that size be hard to explain? One of us would have to be imagining the rest.

voice;

[onedayaqueen]

At least we're out of them now.

More or less what I was thinking, yes. It seems too much effort for just an illusion. Which means it's... real.

voice;

[power_in_bonds]

It's not the worst thing to be real. Its impossibility is a part of the charm.

voice;

[onedayaqueen]

True. Although I think I'd prefer something a little more familiar, at least.

voice;

[power_in_bonds]

Mm...

I suppose we'll have to wait and see if we can reach anyplace familiar.

voice;

[onedayaqueen]

I certainly hope so. Familiar to anyone would be better than familiar to no one.

voice;

[power_in_bonds]

I imagine this place should be familiar to someone. There was a village in the distance before we went underwater.

Maybe our next step should be finding that someone and asking for directions.

voice;

[onedayaqueen]

Oh, I think I remember seeing that actually. Looking for said person does sound a good idea. We could ask around.

voice;

[power_in_bonds]

We could...

Actually, I was told I can help out with something later. I might be able to ask some questions then.

voice;

[onedayaqueen]

Well, that's convenient! Please share anything you might find--I'll be sure to do the same. Oh, well, I mean, I'm not exactly helping with anything like that, but if I happen to find out something otherwise.

voice;

[power_in_bonds]

That works out for me.

Oh... come to think of it, we'd need each other's names to find each other later, right? I'm Minato. Arisato Minato.

voice;

[onedayaqueen]

Great!

Oh, yes, we do! I'm sorry for not saying so earlier. I'm Guinevere, but you can just call me Gwen. It's a pleasure!

voice;

[power_in_bonds]

The pleasure is all mine.

Come to think of it... Gwen, do you mind if I ask you something about your home?

voice;

[onedayaqueen]

Not at all! What did you want to ask?
