It does seem a little more active than it normally is lately. I wonder if that will continue? ...I'm not sure whether to hope it does or doesn't, to be honest.
[A little sigh.]
It does go through phases, though. I've been here long enough to notice that.

I'd like to get started early tomorrow if you don't mind. I know you won't be asleep.
Well, I... I don't really think it works. But it is a little... strange. I've managed to stop myself from volunteering to take ducks by telling myself they'd need names.
[Yeah.]

All right, good. I kind of like leaving early anyway. [And by leaving early she means never actually going home.] It's quiet before dawn. It gives me time to think.
I will be raising my sword in the tournament. I, for one, would like it very much if you could join, if not simply attend and [ --watch me-- ] see how I've improved. Because, I have been training...quite hard, in fact.
[ Who needs bed rest! Besides, he does feel better these days. ]
I'm glad to hear that. Both that you're feeling better and that you've been practicing. A little illness like that shouldn't keep you from your training.
[Yeah, suck it up knightboy. Now that you're not on the verge of death so she has to worry about you.]
It wouldn't stop me from mine. But then our kind isn't normally prone to sickness. I'm happy to be over it.
[...and now she's thinking.]
Hm. I've never actually been asked to use my blade just for showing off before. It's a far cry from being accused of it.
The Patrol, huh? Is it being held at that headquarters?
[Someone has been doing their reading. He's honestly been really curious about the Patrol and swung by a few times to gaze longingly at it. Though, if anyone were to ask why, he'd merely make up excuses about it being on the way, and it was a rather interesting place to stop and have a smoke by.]

[You know. Your... foxomancy. Which is really weird by the way.]
That begs the question of what else cycles with it.

You know that, do you?
We can. I should have my preparations finished by then.

If you're superstitious enough to avoid.... ducklings, then it as good as works. ...No doubt they'll find a good home even without your help, though.
But who knows? The forces behind the Door could have decided to be generous with you.

Hm. You've been needing a lot of that lately, haven't you?

[ Thanks to you. ]
And yourself?
[ A pause. ]

[ Because you wouldn't allow it to keep you down, and Behman and Felson wouldn't, either. I want to be strong like you three. ]
Come on, Teresa. It could be a lot of fun, the tournament.

I really think you should join in. Whatever reasons these people have, they surely wouldn't mind when it's all in good fun.

Hm. I'm not meant to fight against humans.
[...said in that tone that indicates she doesn't especially care about this rule.]
And battling my own kind would be a little unfair.

It might be interesting to keep an eye on.

Fighting for entertainment isn't really my area of knowledge.

Do people need companionship that badly?

You know, some may.

[Somehow, she is not surprised by this.]
Then why not find other people?
