Twenty-Five

[raven_daughter]

All things considered, this isn't that terrible.

I've heard of the impossible tasks some have been given, but the worst punishments that happen here are droning and death, both of which wear off eventually. So just do what you can with what you've been assigned, and wait for this to end. It always ends.

Patience and perseverance. That is all.

This whole mess is a nightmare.

[is_an_island]

... It is.

Haven't talked about home like this for a long time.

[raven_daughter]

... Should I stop?

[is_an_island]

No. It's nice.

Times like these make me homesick, though.

[raven_daughter]

... Yes. I miss Gold Crown Town greatly.

[is_an_island]

Thinking too much about anything in this town is bound to give anybody a headache.

[raven_daughter]

Yes, you're right.

[is_an_island]

... Are you afraid?

[raven_daughter]

...

Ah.

...

A little.

[is_an_island]

... Yeah.

But don't worry too much. Doesn't do anybody any good for that.

[raven_daughter]

I know.

[is_an_island]

... Sorry.

Don't mean to scare.

[raven_daughter]

No, no... I trust you.

[is_an_island]

... It'll be all right in the end.

[raven_daughter]

Yes, I believe it will be.
