03: it's the a-b-cs of growing up.

Having something you can call your own around here is important. If Squall is my name or Fayth yours, here or in the life we lived before, they're both important! So I want to hold onto things like that. - Squall

What aquariums?

[song_of_fayth]

There's one on Captain Planet. It's really quite amazing to be around so much water...

I don't think I recognize your writing, though. May I ask your name?

[azhdarchidae]

Where's that? [Someone lost her map.]

Above.

[song_of_fayth]

That's certainly an interesting name, Above! My name is Fayth.

And it's one of the floating islands. There's a rope bridge from Bazaar Ltd. It's in a large dome near the park, you really can't miss it. I hope to see you there, someday.

[mythgravenblade]

I hear the aquariums are lovely, but I've never been.

I'm afraid I don't recognize your writing. Are you new?

[song_of_fayth]

They are! You should visit, if you get the chance.

And not exactly. I've been here for a little more than a week or so, exploring mostly.

May I ask your name?

[mythgravenblade]

I'd say that's still fairly new. My name is Paladin--yours?

[song_of_fayth]

I suppose you're right. Though I'm starting to feel as if I've been here for much longer.

And I'm Fayth. A pleasure to meet you, Paladin.

[unevoked]

The aquarium ain't bad. I take Boy there on walks sometimes. Never got the appeal of staring at fish, though.

[song_of_fayth]

Boy?

And I can understand that. But I think I enjoy seeing all the water... It's just an odd feeling I get while I'm there.

[unevoked]

My dog.

Guess I can get that. It familiar to you, or something new?

[song_of_fayth]

Oh, you have a dog? Is he people-friendly?

I guess familiar. More like comfortable though. It feels like I should be here, like I'm waiting for something.

[A pause]

I suppose that's a little strange, isn't it? I'm sorry.

[white_disciple]

Those are well-spoken words, Fayth. Who is Squall?

[song_of_fayth]

Squall is my friend! We went swimming together recently while looking for the octopus.

One day, you should meet her. She's a lot of fun to be around.

[white_disciple]

Where on Oerth can you go swimming... oh! That island! There's an octopus in such a small lake?

I'd like that. I was wary for awhile but I may have a new trade.

[song_of_fayth]

There is! It's a little shy though, or so it seems.

A new trade? That's exciting! What is it?
