[Grune spends a brief moment looking at Pilouette in faint confusion. Has she seen her before? ...Oh, she must be a New Feather!

So, hey, Pilouette. Have a tall, beautiful woman approaching you with a big smile.]

Hello there! My name is Grune. What's your name?

[wantsaprince]

[By now, Pilouette has adjusted to being around so many people, so she's still a little nervous, especially around the adults. She gives Grune a polite nod before answering.]

Um, my name is Pilouette. It's, uh, like, nice to meet you, Miss Grune!

[lostinmyway]

[Grune isn't at all going to notice her nerves.]

It's very nice to meet you, Pilouette! You have such a pretty name.

Are you having a nice time?

[wantsaprince]

Aw, golly, thanks~!

And um, I'm having an okay time, I guess! I mean, meeting people is making me feel a little better about...um...

[She's trying to choose her words carefully; if nothing else, Pilouette wants to at least try to sound mature, especially in front of an adult like Grune.]

...Being away from home.

[lostinmyway]

[Grune gives her a sympathetic smile.]

Do you miss your family and friends?

[wantsaprince]

Y-Yeah, kinda.

I mean, it feels really weird not knowing when I'll see them next. Seeing my friends in class everyday was something that just like, happened every day back home.

And I can't remember when the last time I went this long without at least talking to my dad was.

[lostinmyway]

Don't worry. [She sets a gentle hand on Pilouette's shoulder.] I'm sure your friends and family will come see you soon. And everyone here is very nice, so you can make lots of friends while you wait.

[wantsaprince]

Oh! Y-you really think so?

[She brightens up for just a second, but her smile turns just the tiniest bit uneasy after a moment.]

Oh, but...I think they would probably be a lot happier back at home. But I guess it'll be nice to make friends here, since I'll probably be here a while, huh?

[lostinmyway]

That's right. Then you can have a good time with everyone and not be lonely.

[wantsaprince]

W-Well, I wouldn't say I'm, you know, lonely.

I mean, I'm old enough that I'd be okay on my own if it came down to it! I-I think!

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I'm sure you would be fine. But it's nicer not to be alone.

[Which is something she's trying to drill through the heads of a couple of people much older than you, Pilouette.]

[wantsaprince]

Ahaha, yeah, you're right! I-I mean, I'd be totally okay by myself, but I think I really do like being with other people more! It's lots more fun.

[lostinmyway]

Yes, it's more fun to play games with lots of people.

[wantsaprince]

Plus, it's like, better than talking to myself. If I don't talk to like, other people, conversations get totally boring, you know?

[lostinmyway]

Yes, that's right. And other people always have very interesting things to say. Sometimes they tell stories!

[She loves it when that happens.]

[wantsaprince]

Omigosh, I know, right? Isn't that just the best?!

[Pilouette is a sucker for a good story.]

And then sometimes it reminds you of a good story and before you know it, like, everyone is telling stories and it's like, so awesome~!
